“Authentic. Hilarious. A powerhouse,” says the LA Times to describe comedienne and empowerment speaker Amy Ashton who will be providing an evening of comedy for WWICJJ conference attendees on Sunday, October 14, 2018. Ashton has been featured on HBO, Comedy Central, NBC, FOX and other networks. She is a published author, has also created and executive produced numerous television shows, and was a writer for the late Joan Rivers. When she isn’t producing, you can find her performing to sell-out audiences at major comedy clubs in Los Angeles and theaters, or using her unique brand of humor to empower people at corporate and Fortune 500 companies.

Check out our new #Keynote Speaker for #WWICJJ 2018! Success did not come without hard work and overcoming odds for Cathy Lanier, who will be one of our keynote speakers. Her life story is emblematic of our conference theme, “Transcend.” Lanier was the former chief of the Metropolitan Police Department of the District of Colombia and is currently the senior vice president of security for the National Football League. But her life didn’t start that way. She was a junior high school dropout and single mom who went on to earn her GED and two masters degrees while working her way up within the DC police force. Over her 26 years in law enforcement and counter-terrorism, Lanier has come to be known for her game-changing leadership strategies. Lanier will share her insights on policing, risk management and security, leadership under crisis and the power of persistence in overcoming your own odds and achieving any goal.

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
