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.

SPEAKER ANNOUNCEMENT! Community corrections partners have a long history of working together to keep our communities safe. In recent years many changes have dramatically altered the criminal justice landscape.” Community corrections partners need to rethink, regroup, reengage and embrace new ideas that transcend the typical reentry models,” said @vacavillepolicedepartment Chief John Carli. In the breakout session, “Transcending Traditional Roles Between Law Enforcement and Probation: The pathway to achieve lower recidivism and improve community safety,” Chief Carli, a 29-year law enforcement veteran, will identify the changing roles of probation and law enforcement and discuss how to align two different missions into a single vision. Carli was appointed Chief of Police in the City of Vacaville in 2014. In 2016, he was invited to the White House and shared the collaborative outreach programs associated with the Community Response Unit in Vacaville. The unit pairs officers and clinical services personnel to collaborate with probation and the courts, transcending the typical problem-solving approach into an inventive partnership that reduced the impacts of quality-of-life crimes.
