CMIT - 2026 CSCD HR Forum

2026 CSCD HR Forum

The CSCD HR Forum was established in 2012 to create and provide an opportunity for CSCD Human Resources directors and staff to meet and discuss topics, challenges, and ideas relevant to management of personnel within adult probation agencies. The program also includes “The Legal Corner”, providing updates on legal topics important to HR professionals in probation agencies. Though the annual event has grown from the initial intimate group meeting and now includes attendees from other criminal justice agencies, the format of a “conversation” remains.
