Accomplishments and Information:
Since our Annual Report, we have accomplished the following:
Corrections Now Newsletter
· We are in the process of producing a summer/fall newsletter.
.
Annual Meeting
In Dallas, Board members and other volunteers worked at a Corrections Section booth selling T-shirts to members and answering questions about the Corrections Section. We sold many T-shirts, and the remaining were given to charity.
Corrections Section members were represented on numerous panels and roundtable discussions. Members also toured the Hutchins State Jail correctional facility.
Annual Awards Breakfast
At the 9th Annual Awards Breakfast in Dallas we had approximately 30 people in attendance. The speaker at this year’s breakfast was Cary Welabob, Texas State Director of Probation. She is known as a leader in the field and provided valuable insight into best practices about parole and community corrections diversionary programs that are being implemented in Texas.
On-Line Journal
A mission statement has been developed for the proposed on-line corrections journal and will soon be distributed to the Executive Committee and other interested members..
