The 2009 National Forum on Criminal Justice and Public Safety will take place August 9-11, 2009 at the Hyatt Regency in Bellevue, Washington. The theme of this year's National Forum is "Changing Criminal Justice: Surviving, Adapting, Succeeding."

The National Forum is the only criminal justice conference that brings together leaders from federal, state, local and tribal government and the public and private sector to share real life solutions that are working across the country. Last year, 93 percent of Forum attendees reported that received useful ideas that they could take back and implement immediately. Ninety-five percent of attendees said the Forum was important for their professional development.

Please mark your calendar now and plan to join your colleagues for this exciting and unique conference. For more information about the National Forum please visit www.ncja.org/forum
