The Kansas Correctional Association
Geri Reece, President (2017 – Present)
The Kansas Correctional Association was formed in 1973 to support and promote the acceptance of corrections as a profession by enlisting the support of correctional professionals in all correctional endeavors in a statewide association.
PURPOSE
The purpose of this association is to advance the correctional process for all juvenile and adult offenders by:
- Increasing public understanding of the social and economic gains to the individual and to communities through providing opportunities for all public offenders to become self-sufficient, self-supporting, and contributing members of society.
- Providing opportunities for conferences and forums for the discussion of all the problems relating to total correction of the offender.
- Encouraging an interdisciplinary approach to the problems of corrections through the maximum use of knowledge and skills of all professions.
- Stimulating professional training opportunities for all personnel engaged in corrections.
- Develop and implement both short-term and long-term strategic plans to be reviewed annually by the association.
MEMBERSHIP
All individuals residing within the geographical boundaries of the State of Kansas are eligible to become members of this association. Full membership is open to professional persons employed in any correctional agency or institution in the State of Kansas. Associate membership is open to all other interested persons. Affiliated membership is available to other interested groups and associations.
