According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, approximately 28 percent of the nation’s correctional officers are women and nearly a third of first-line supervisors of correctional officers are women. What is needed to help more women promote into executive leadership positions? In the panel discussion “Transition from Operational Expert to Executive Leadership,” you will hear from Kathleen Allison, Terri McDonald and Shirley Moore Smeal, three national leaders in adult, juvenile and community corrections. They will talk about how to transcend from a line-level employee to executive leadership. Allison, a 31-year veteran of @cacorrections , is the director of the Division of Adult Institutions which operates California’s 35 prisons. McDonald is chief of the County of Los Angeles Probation Department, the largest in the nation. Her 36 years of public service includes working for CDCR and providing executive oversight of Los Angeles County’s jail system. Moore Smeal is the executive deputy secretary for the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections with a career spanning 31 years. These three high-level women will help you hone your leadership style as you work your way into the executive ranks. Find out more at www.wwicjj.com #WWICJJ #Transcend

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.
