CJPA Conference Educates & Entertains
Asilomar Conference Grounds, Monterey California
October, 2007

Those who attended the conference were treated to two wonderful sessions headed by Warden Robert L. Green and Carrie Hill. Both speakers were able to provide timely information and education interlaced with great humor and good rapport with those in attendance. We were very fortunate to have such talented, experienced and entertaining speakers at the conference.

Warden Robert L. Green has 23 years of experience in local corrections and is committed to the principles of community collaboration. Robert was the key note speaker on re-entry programs, leadership and program management. He was able to bring his wealth of experience and knowledge in leadership development and management and insight from his membership as the American Jail Association Board of Directors board member, and his consultation for the National Institute of Corrections and the American Correctional Association. Robert’s many years of experience provided a springboard for a very entertaining and informative workshop. His humor and wisdom kept the conference participants engaged and he was willing to take the time to answer questions so that everyone walked away with having learned something new.

Carrie Hill tackled the controversial topic of Legal Issues and Religious Practices as it pertains to corrections. Carrie is an experienced speaker and a practicing Attorney in private practice in Minnesota. She was able to address specific topics such as legal updates, First Amendment Rights and Religious Practices. Carrie was able to interject her personal wit and charisma so that the workshop was both educational and entertaining. All in attendance were able to absorb Carrie’s expansive knowledge on these topics and will be able to go back to their facilities better prepared to handle religious practice concerns with sensitivity and insight.
