Celebrating 10 Years to Life
As we celebrate our 10th anniversary, the Academy continues to grow
both in size-currently at more than 3,000 members-and in the valuable
benefits and resources that it offers.
"To mark this special occasion, it seemed fitting to develop a
slogan-10 Years to Life: Make the Academy Part of Your Life," says Susan
Laffan, RN, CCHP-A, CCHP-RN, who chairs the Academy's board of
directors. "As we reflect upon the past 10 years and look toward the
future, we encourage all correctional health professionals to take pride
in their specialty and to join in our unique community," says Laffan.
Commemorative anniversary t-shirts with this special anniversary
image will be available for sale at the National Conference bookstore
and on our website following the conference.
