First of all, let me thank you for all your support this year and for allowing me to serve as President of the NCJAA.
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.

Fellow Detention Officers and members of NCJAA, The summer is fast approaching, and it will be gone before you know it. If you haven’t taken time off, please think about scheduling time for yourself. Everyone needs time to refuel, rethink and regenerate.
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.

The year 2009 is gone. Hope everyone had a great CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR. The board of directors is looking for a good year as we all begin the new year of 2010.
We are planning a workshop to further expand what we can do for the detention facilities across the great state of North Carolina, focusing on new ideas and the future of the NCJAA.
We are in the process of putting together the training for the regional training sessions and annual conference. If anyone has a topic they would like to see, please let a Board Member know. The annual conference will be held again this year at the Embassy Suites in Greensboro.
