Now more than ever, it is important for us as Jail Administrators to come together and learn from – and with – each other. The educational program set for the upcoming conference is going to touch on several training areas. Also, this year, we are having a round table forum on the first day, which will allow questions and answers during our afternoon round table discussion. This is a different format than we have had in the past, and it’s a great opportunity for you to glean answers and learn from others. Situations like these – a real chance for fellowship and exchanging ideas – do not come around too often anymore. I highly recommend you take advantage while you can. I guarantee you will take back something to your county that will benefit you and your day to-
day peers for years to come.

In April, the board came in a day early prior to our board meeting to discuss the long-range plan for the organization. In doing this, we discussed ways to provide better education for the membership. Everyone had some great ideas and looks forward to implementing some of the ideas as early as the 2010 conference. The conference dates are September 28-October 1. In the past several years, we have sold out of our sleeping rooms at the host hotel. I encourage you to contact the Embassy Suites in Greensboro (336-668-4535) and make that hotel reservation.
