The Deputy Director’s Executive Forum is designed to advance competency-based leadership skills and grow the professional development of state and large urban-system deputy directors. The forum focuses on collaborative and sustainable approaches to operational and organizational management.
The Forum's goal is to support the training and development needs of correctional leaders.
It is designed and led by Deputy Directors of correctional agencies and offers a unique opportunity for professionals to connect with peers facing both longstanding and emerging challenges. Gatherings serve as a platform to highlight successful practices, exchange insights, and explore innovative approaches to organizational and operational management.
