The North
Carolina Correctional Association (NCCA) was established in August, 1979 as a
state chapter affiliate of the American Correctional Association (ACA). ACA,
a professional association dedicated to the improvement of corrections and
the training and development of correctional professionals, was started in
1870. For more than 135 years, ACA has
been on the forefront of exerting a positive influence on national
correctional policy. ACA provides its
member with educational materials, college and CEU credits with courses,
training, seminars, publications, biannual conferences, accreditation
services and a variety of other networking opportunities, not to mention a
subscription to Corrections Today
magazine and a wide variety of discounts. ACA has more than 22,000 members in
the United States, Canada,
and other countries.
NCCA, which presently has more than 700 members, is divided into seven
regions in order to better serve its members. Each region elects officers who
develop and sponsor activities such as annual training workshops and
recognition events for members. NCCA
represent all from the line officer to the warden, from criminal justice
student to the volunteer, from the probation officer to the day treatment
social-worker, from the teacher to the healthcare practitioner – all across
the corrections spectrum ACA is there….
NCCA holds an annual statewide conference in November hosted by one of its
regions. Events include skills training workshops; Exhibitor’s Hall, and an
awards appreciation during which members are honored for outstanding service.
Our newsletter, The Compass, is printed yearly and distributed free to
members.
The purposes of NCCA are to:
- Exert a positive influence on
the shaping of state and national correctional policy.
- Promote the professional
growth and development of its members.
- Enhance interagency
understanding and coordination.
NCCA is committed to strengthening corrections by providing a forum through
which correctional professional, educators, students, volunteers, and
interested citizens can participate. Through publications, workshops, and other
activities, it works to stimulate constructive action on correctional issues
and policies that can more effectively respond to the needs of the clients
served and the members it represents and be the “voice in corrections.”
