We hope to see you at the 33rd annual OJACC conference on October 10-11, 2019! Stop by our booth for a visit with Jesse to learn more about how The Change Companies® can help you promote positive behavior change in your organization.
The theme for this year’s conference is “Intentional Leadership: Reexamining our Role in the Stability of EBP“.
OJACC is an umbrella organization representing Ohio’s criminal justice stakeholders to include judges, prosecutors, criminal defense attorneys, law enforcement, county commissioners, chief probation offices and line staff, juvenile justice practitioners, representatives from pretrial release programs, community treatment programs, residential treatment programs, treatment professionals, nearly every state agency relating to criminal justice and program operators directly related to corrections. Because this audience relies on your products and services, the conference provides excellent exposure.

Here are a few highlights:
- Our 2019 focus is “Back to the Basics”.
- The Desmond offers free transportation from the Albany airport to the hotel.
- Exhibitors can schedule presentations as part of the day’s training track.
- There will be numerous opportunities to network and ALL breaks will be hosted in the Exhibitor Area.
