The Vision of IACTP, “To lead correctional training into the next Century”, was supported by the exceptional workshops and underscored by the powerful conference theme “Fit to Lead”.
The symposium workshops were outstanding as was the conference venue.
Charleston is rich in history and culture with bookstores, art galleries, specialty shops, and quaint cafes border tree-lined
streets in the downtown area. This beautiful city was not only a backdrop to an exceptional conference, but offer a great opportunity
to meet with training professionals from around the nation.
