During Program and Training Committee meetings, members always consider current and urgent correctional issues gleaned from the membership during training programs and by survey. The committee prioritizes the issues, organizes selected issues into categories. For the Special Issues Seminar, the committee chooses a particularly poignant issue or issues for one day of intense discussion. For the Seminar, speakers normally consist of outside experts who understand the issues and current administrators who are experiencing the issue(s) intensely and are developing successful strategies in their jurisdictions.

This area is reserved for the development of the annual fall Special Issues Seminar all ASCA members. Here will be generated and stored all documents to be reviewed and incorporated into the planning for the Seminar. Here also will Committee members provide input and respond to information concerning the seminar.
