Dear Program Alumni and Criminal Justice Practitioners,

 It is my esteemed honor to serve as the President of FCJEIA for this year. In keeping with the goals of FCJEIA, it is the Board of Directors’ intent to continue the development of our Criminal Justice Leaders throughout the state. Obviously, that goal is best accomplished via our Annual Graduates Conference where a long-standing tradition of timely, relevant and excellent training opportunities has been manifested.

The 2010 conference was a great success and received “rave reviews” from you, the membership. Once again, I thank all those who were able to attend and those whose “behind the scenes” work made the conference a reality. I certainly hope that the 2011 Conference will exceed your expectations and I can promise you that every effort will be made to see that it does.

In the interim, please continue your support of the Institute by sending your prospective and current agency leaders to the excellent programs offered throughout the State and in Tallahassee.  By doing so, not only will the membership of FCJEIA continue to grow, but more importantly, the Criminal Justice Field in our Great State will be better able to meet the numerous challenges we face now and in the future through competent leadership.

Have a safe and wonderful year and I hope to see as many of you as possible in the spring of 2011!

Sincerely,

Mark R. Chamberlain
