Please join me in congratulating the Tidewater District Virginia Juvenile Justice Association for planning and hosting a successful 22nd Annual Spring Institute.  Every aspect of the Institute was well planned and very enjoyable.  We look forward to the 23rd Spring Institute in 2015.

  

I would like to inform all members that the VJJA Board of Directors convened a board meeting on March 26, 2014.  We projected and discussed a two year general account budget, discussed operations, discussed awards/scholarships/recognition, discussed professional development, and discussed publications/outreach.  We unamiously voted in favor of publishing a memorial resolution to recognize and record Rodney Hubbard's achievements and contributions to his family, community, VJJA and the Virginia Department of Juvenile Justice.  The resolution was written by Beth Stinnett.  Our next VJJA Board of Directors meeting will be on June 26, 2014, in Charlottesville, Virginia.

  

In the next quarter, we will publish our next issue of the VJJA Advocate.

  

Keeping you informed,

  

Stephanie C. Garrison, President
