Overview
Parole board chairs, whether appointed by their governor, elected by their peers, or rotated into their role from their seat on the parole board, are in an influential position to lead efforts to improve and reform the transition and reentry system, as well as enhance their board’s capacity to use evidence-based principles in effective offender management. Being an effective chair requires clearly defined roles and strategies to ensure that informed decisions are made relative to the release and return of offenders. This 40-hour course will include modules on defining the chair’s role, establishing operational philosophy, promoting optimal performance, navigating the external and political environment, reaching out and responding
