D-2B The Value of Engagement with International Partners Crystal Ballroom B Track: Other — Staff Training (Sponsored by the International Corrections Committee) This workshop will highlight the lessons we have learned from colleagues across our world through shared correctional expertise and experiences. We will explore correctional leadership though Kouzes and Posner and the five practices of Exemplary Leadership, focusing on Inspire a Shared Vision and Challenge the Process. Within the practice of challenging the process, Kouzes and Posner highlight looking “outward for fresh ideas”. We become very myopic within our own experiences within our agencies and jurisdictions, so we hope today to encourage you to actively seek to interact across systems, present you with innovative ways to change and improve approaches that are very different from our own but with merit for us to consider. Learning Objectives: 1. Understand some of our dependence on international assistance. 2. Appreciate potential benefits and value of participation and engagement with international expertise. 3.Explore and discuss ways to begin the process of engagement and recognize some of the tremendous opportunities through ACA. Moderator: Doug Dretke , Executive Director, Correctional Management Institute, Sam Houston State University, Huntsville, Texas Speakers: Mary Livers , Past President ACA, Baton Rouge, Louisiana; Gary Mohr , Past President ACA, Columbus Ohio

D-2A Why Staff Stay in Corrections: The Importance of a Stay Interview for Staff Retention Crystal Ballroom A Track: Other — Staff Training It is important to understand why staff may be leaving your agency, but it is equally if not more important to understand why staff are staying at your agency. This is often an overlooked data set when studying staffing shortages. Far too often agencies focus on recruitment while minimally addressing retention. This workshop will address the importance of a Stay Interview, the components and technical aspects of a Stay Interview and our own experience and results completing an evidence-based Stay Interview at a corrections agency. We will share our successes and failures throughout the process as well as our moments of comic relief. This will be an engaging and interactive workshop that provides practical and implementable skills. Learning Objectives: 1. What is a Stay Interview and why is it important and necessary. 2. How should a Stay Interview be structured and delivered. 3.How to interpret results and turn those results into actionable changes. Moderator: Jacob Sadon , Staff Development Manager, Oriana House, Inc., Akron, Ohio Speakers: Jodi Glitzenstein , Director of Human Resources, Oriana House, Inc, Akron, Ohio; Jacob Sadon , Staff Development Manager, Oriana House, Inc., Akron, Ohio
