Board of Directors
The former President of the Council of State Governments, Vermont Governor James Douglas, established a board of directors to help draft the Justice Center’s bylaws and provide guidance on the Center’s priorities. They 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 Justice Center Board of Directors convened for its most recent meeting on September 16-19, 2007 in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
