PURPOSE:
This conference provides an opportunity for team building, networking and deeper dive into the unique perspective of women working in Corrections and the momentum as we develop personally and professionally. We aim for this conference to be a combination of fun and learning that provides relief from the day-to-day stressors of our jobs and opens the door to both personal and professional growth. It is a way to renew our personal energy and to grow in the challenges of our jobs and personal life.
