National Institute of Corrections

Description

The field of corrections is constantly evolving, requiring continuous learning and professional development for its administrators. With responsibility for leading complex correctional systems, Correctional Executives are charged with managing human resources, developing and implementing agency policy and procedure, engaging with internal and external stakeholders, and administering significant fiscal resources – all while supporting strong business practices and delivering results. As such, it is imperative for Correctional Executives to stay current regarding critical issues facing the field and methods for effectively addressing areas of need. It is critically important for them to keep abreast of correctional best practices and emerging issues, as well as developing and maintaining a strong association participant’s network of other correctional administrators. Further, other Correctional Executives provide vital assistance in gathering information, sharing perspectives, and providing possible solutions for their associate participants. .NIC has been committed for years to improving executive performance by providing excellent leadership and management training through previous Executive Excellence programs to corrections professionals. In an effort to expand on the resources NIC has provided the field with the document Correctional Leadership Competencies for the 21st Century, a portion of which specifically addresses the role of Correctional Executive. The next step is to continue to create an increasingly vital blended training curriculum for this position and the final phases for two program presentations
