Mission Statement
The mission of the North Carolina Jail Administrators' Association is to encourage and facilitate professionalism through effective and timely training and the exchange of information between jail professionals. Our goal is to foster respect, friendship, and good will among all jail professionals and to promote a positive image to the community and citizens we serve.
The North Carolina Jail Administrators' Association will not endorse or lobby for or against any legislation or political position. It will not endorse candidates, political parties or ideologies, nor will it engage in any other political activities.
I hope that everyone had a wonderful holiday and is looking forward to the days ahead in 2009. I am anticipating a very eventful and exciting year for the North Carolina Jail Administrator’s Association as there seems to be a sense of change on the horizon. There definitely seems to be a strong sense of excitement and anticipation for change in America with the historic inauguration of President Obama. His words gave a renewed sense of dedication, responsibility and most importantly a sense of hope for Americans to meet the many challenges facing our country.
Although on a much smaller scale than President Obama, we are also looking ahead at the challenges that are facing the North Carolina Jail Administrator’s Association. Our Board of Directors are looking at ways for our continued growth and meeting our goals as an association through networking and training.
During our last Board Meeting in December, we got the opportunity to tour the new location for our upcoming Annual Training Conference at the Embassy Suites in Greensboro. We were all very excited for the many new training opportunities that our new location will provide with expanded classrooms, vendor halls and even an area to accommodate a guest speaker or presentation to all attendees. This is a new challenge for us, but we are very excited that all our association members will be happy with this new change. We are all looking forward to the Annual Training Conference scheduled for October of 2009!! [read more]
