Board of Directors
The Justice Center Board of Directors provides guidance on the organization's priorities. Its members include state legislative leaders, judges, corrections administrators, juvenile justice agency directors, and law enforcement officials. Together they represent a cross-section of the senior-level state officials who shape criminal justice policy. The board convened for its most recent meeting on July 24-26, 2011, in San Francisco, CA. At that time, Kansas Representative Pat Colloton assumed the chair from New York Assemblyman Jeffrion Aubry, whose term had expired. The board expressed its deep appreciation for Assemblyman Aubry's leadership and support during his tenure. Superintendent of the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Identification & Investigation, Tom Stickrath was named Vice-Chair of the Justice Center board.
