The upcoming year will be an exciting opportunity for the North Carolina Jail Administrators’ Association as it will bring both challenges and rewards. I would like to first take a look at some of the accomplishments and successes by starting with the recent Annual Training Conference in High Point. The Conference was clearly a success in many ways reflected in your comments from the evaluations. One of the most difficult challenges the board members face each year is to provide an Annual Training Conference for the members of our Association. The Annual Training Conference is our biggest event of the year and takes a lot of coordination and individual effort to make it a success. This year the Annual Training Conference was the perfect chemistry of vendors, opportunities for networking, informative training sessions, good food and refreshments, an outstanding banquet, good music for entertainment and hopefully you got to see the morning guest speaker, because if you missed it; you missed something very special!! David Browning: The Mayberry Deputy was funny, entertaining and touched everyone’s heart with laughter and a sincere sense of compassion by reflecting on the very human characters that touched our hearts and lives in the town of Mayberry. My personal favorite is when he would imitate “Floyd the Barber” and make sure to see David Browning’s picture with Major Debora (Charlene) Montgomery and the Guilford County Honor Guard!! Thank you very much David as you were awesome and we hope to see you at the Regional Conference since you are an “Associate Member”!! This year the board members, our executive director, other members of the association, instructors and vendors worked extremely well together to deliver an outstanding Annual Training Conference with teamwork and professionalism. It was an outstanding job by everyone!! [read more]
