The Corrections Technology Association (CTA) is a public, non-profit network of professionals actively involved in leveraging technology in the field of Corrections. Members of our association consist primarily of Chief Information Officers, IT Directors and operational and administrative staff from State and Provincial Departments of Correction, as well as from Federal, county and local correctional agencies.
Since 1999 CTA has provided a forum to promote exchange of information, experience and knowledge among correctional agencies. Through the years, the association has actively led development of standards and promoted collaboration and sharing of data and systems across states. CTA's annual conference offers its members an unsurpassed opportunity to learn of new technologies and, above all else, affords corrections technologists the opportunity to network with their peers.
Coming Soon: Corrections Project & Portfolio Management
CTA, in conjunction with NOREX, will be hosting a teleforum on Tuesday, June 17, 2008 at 1:30 Central/2:30 Eastern Time.
As the 9th Annual CTA Conference has now concluded and the CTA closes the chapter on yet another successful event, the CTA Executive Board is already hard at work planning for the future, which includes not only our next conference scheduled for historic Albany, New York in May 2009, but also capitalizing on the relationships that were forged in Colorado between our membership and our business and government partners.
CTA is proud to have hosted Mr. Robert Greeves and Mr. Michael Dever from the Federal Bureau of Justice Assistance, who in presenting some of our keynote remarks at the 2008 Conference, came out in support of CTA's position that Correction Intelligence Information can, and should be, a cornerstone of the federal approach to information sharing and fusion center development. Please feel free to review the CTA Whitepaper on this exciting subject which is now posted to our website.
On behalf of the CTA Executive Board and our members and sponsors, I would like to thank everyone for their continued support of CTA and I look forward to working with you all throughout this next year.
Thomas J. Herzog, CTA President
CIO, New York State Department of Correctional Services
