The position of warden is one of the most daunting, yet rewarding, opportunities a corrections professional can achieve. Yet, the internal and external expectations and accountability that accompany this position can affect a warden’s leadership ability and management of facility operations. These challenges require the development of new skills and knowledge.

This 32-hour program helps participants enhance their skills in areas essential to effective leadership and administration of a correctional institution. Some of the topics to be discussed include institutional culture, central office relationships, budget management strategies, decision-making, and media relations. Woven throughout the program are continuous opportunities to share concerns and exchange and create new ideas.

Eligibility Requirements: Wardens with less than 2 years’ experience are encouraged to apply.
