After a very successful ACA conference we've been busy reaching out to all the new friends we made during the conference. It's obvious that the idea of sustainability is catching on in corrections. Many of the exhibitors tout their "green" products and what they can do. We also noticed a number of new vendors or attendees that are new to corrections but bring singnificant sustainable technology to the market place.
We also want to thank our friends at I-CON, Energy Systems Group, and Solaris as well as the North American Association of Wardens and Superintendents who supported our presence in Kissimmee and gave us a base from which to operate.
As we indicated at ACA, GreenPrisons will host a series of webinars September 20th, October 11th and November 9th. The first webinar will focus on the corporate side and provide some insight, particularly to new vendors, of the challenges and benefits of working with correctional agencies. These webinars are FREE and no special equipment is required. Registration is now available at www.greenprisons.org.
Planning has also begun for next year's symposium and while the date is still being finalized, we will be back in Indianapolis with a bigger and better event. If you attended this year but didn't go on the institutional tour you won't want to miss what our friends in the Indiana Department of Correction have in mind for next year. Watch the website and your email for the call for presenters and registration information which will be coming soon.
We continue to look for input from practitioners and providers about how we can make the site more useful to you. Leave your thoughts on this blog or send them to me directly at tommy@greenprisons.org
