The Past Presidents’ Committee is composed exclusively of persons who have served as President of the Association. The purposes of the Committee are:

(1) To positively reinforce advancements in the field of corrections; and

(2) To serve in an advisory role to the Executive Committee.

The first two significant contributions of the Committee to the Association are the Susan M. Hunter Scholarship and the Louie Wainwright Award (Past Presidents’ Award). The Susan M. Hunter Scholarship is awarded annually to the son(s) or daughter(s) of Corrections Employees. The student must be pursuing a degree in the field of corrections or criminal justice. The Committee will determine the number of scholarships to be awarded annually. The Louie Wainwright Past Presidents’ Award was established to recognize the contributions of a former Director of corrections to both the field of corrections and to ASCA. The award recipient will have demonstrated outstanding leadership, contribution to corrections, accomplishment, and service to the Association and/or to the field of corrections since serving as Director.
