Congratulations to the 47th Graduating Class of the National Jail Leadership Academy
Thirty-six men and women from ten states graduated on August 4, 2023, as members of Class 47 of the National Jail Leadership Command Academy (NJLCA). The leadership program is a collaboration of the American Jail Association and the Correctional Management Institute of Texas and is held on the campus of Sam Houston State University in Huntsville, Texas.
Through five days of instruction by veteran jail practitioners and through interaction with one another, graduates developed leadership skills that enable them to successfully transition to senior leadership positions in their agencies.
Pictured is the 47th Class of the National Jail Leadership Command Academy, faculty, and staff. The session was held July 30, 2023.
