SPEAKER ANNOUNCEMENT! A generationally diverse workforce is better equipped to respond to today’s high-flux and fast-moving workplace. Since Millennials became a majority of the labor force, generational differences have never been wider as each generation has a varying perspective of work, leadership, technology, and communication. Ryan Jenkins, author and Inc.com columnist, and one of our keynote speakers, will present the session, “Next Generation Leadership: Proven Strategies to Engage Millennials and a Multi-Generational Workforce.” “Fifty-two percent of workers say they are least likely to get along with someone from another generation,” Jenkins said. “Those who learn to lead and engage Millennials and transcend generational friction will gain the necessary competitive advantage in today’s fast-changing times.” Jenkins has been speaking professionally for more than six years for hundreds of clients and his insights have been featured in Forbes, Fast Company, Inc., and SUCCESS Magazine.

Keynote speaker announcement! Michele Thornton Ghee believes that all women are innate strategists who use most of their time and focus taking care of others. Women who work in the corrections and juvenile justice professions know this all too well. Thornton Ghee encourages women to use a portion of that energy to develop a personal life plan and urges women to get strategic. Actually, she calls it Stratechic. Thornton Ghee, an author, speaker and transformational visionary with more than 20 years of experience in corporate America, will be one of our keynote speakers and will talk about how women can strategically transcend and achieve in all facets of life.

“Team building can be used to transcend barriers in the workplace,” said Ora Starks, warden of the Bolivar County Regional Correctional Facility in Cleveland, Mississippi. Starks, a 23-year veteran of corrections, will discuss the importance of creating a more effective work environment and better communications among management and employees at the breakout session, “Team Building in the Workplace.” Starks will share how team building can bring positive change. Her breakout session will include team-building exercises to improve interpersonal skills including communications, negotiations, leadership and motivation. Starks is the first female warden in Bolivar County’s history and a part-time professor at the University of Memphis Department of Criminology and Criminal Justice. Starks received her Bachelor of Science degree in 1994 and her Master of Science degree in 1999 in criminal justice from Mississippi Valley State University. She is in the final stage of completing her PhD in human services with a specialization in criminal justice.

#WWICJJ 2018 National Conference attendees are invited to dine aboard the Delta King Riverboat Hotel in Old Sacramento on Oct. 16. You will be right at the center of an interactive murder mystery while feasting on delicious local eats. At this theater, the actors are planted with the guests and the show is played at the banquet seating, not on a stage. Three to four murders are scripted each night around the dinner, and everyone is a suspect. It’s a dazzling scene played out on the picturesque Sacramento River, a skipping-stones’ throw from vibrant entertainment and boardwalk shops. And just when you settle into the scene…. Gunshots Ring Out! …the room grows silent… The mystery begins. Welcome to an adventure in dining comedy! Keep your eyes open, watch for strange behavior, take notes, and question all suspicious looking people. Trust no one!! As you are reading this introduction, criminal forces may already be at work. You may already be in danger. Any clues you find (tangible evidence) you must tell the detective. But if you have a hunch, keep it to yourself . There is a prize for the one who can solve the mystery. Don’t feel bad if you’re clueless! Just have a great time! CASE FILE Food: The entrees to choose from are beef, pork, chicken, or pasta. All dinners will be served with salad, dinner rolls, and dessert. Location: 1000 Front Street, Old Sacramento Date: October 16, 2018. Arrival: 6 p.m. The adventure begins at 6:30 pm.
