Volunteers make the conference go

Thank you to the volunteers who made it happen A huge undertaking like the 155 th Conference of Correction is only possible thanks to the selfless and dedicated crew of volunteers who help staff the event. ACA staff are able to organize the events of a Congress but dedicated volunteers make them come alive. From staffing the registration desk and answering key questions, these dedicated volunteers make your conference experience run smoothly. “To all the volunteers who helped us put on the Congress of Correction in Denver. Your enthusiasm and efficiency made this Congress run as smoothly for our members as any I can remember,” said Executive Director Robert Green.
