The Program and Training Committee designs and develops trainings/programs that are 1) relevant to the membership’s current needs for specific information, 2) enriched by the research and study of experts and the experiential wisdom of fellow members who are dealing successfully with challenging issues, and 3) tailored for new and experienced members.
Message from the Chair
Program & Training Committee
ASCA prides itself in innovative, engaging, and effective training that emphasizes peer interaction. Consistently, our trainings have been rated on the high end of excellence. The attendance is always good and the participant discussions are animated. Our Committee is committed to improving our programs every year with benefit of feedback from our participating members.
We have a secret for success. The National Institute of Corrections has for thirty years guided and funded annual trainings for the membership at large, trainings as needed for newly appointed directors, and one-on-one trainings arranged for a member to share ideas and experiences with another member onsite. Many years of support from NIC have honed training methods and identified unique trainers both within and outside ASCA, both of which have mightily contributed to our success.
2011 will be an exceptional training year in keeping with ASCA’s traditions and innovations. We expect to conduct as many as three New Directors Trainings to accommodate changes in Directorships in the wake of the November 2010 gubernatorial contests.
Don’t miss the opportunity to meet and work with peers during trainings! No matter how many trainings I have participated in over the years, I always bring home fresh ideas for my agency.
