Leonard G. Cooke Director COMMONWEALTH of VIRGINIA Department of Criminal Justice Services 202 N. Ninth Street Richmond, Virginia 23219 (804) 786-4000 FAX (804) 371-8981 TDD (804) 786-8732 June 19, 2008 Dear Participant: On behalf of the Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS), it is my pleasure to welcome you to the Making a Difference in Juvenile Justice conference sponsored by the Department of Criminal Justice Services and the Advisory Committee on Juvenile Justice. This conference is designed to provide in-depth training on every-day challenges for those of you who work with youth. This year’s budget situation has brought about additional challenges with travel restrictions. I understand that because of budget constraints, some of you are paying some of your own expenses to attend this event, and some must commute back and forth each day. I would like to personally thank each of you for the sacrifices that you are making to be with us. In addition to our conference sessions, the third annual Virginia Spirit of Youth Award will be presented to one of the nominated young adults who has made great strides following involvement with the juvenile justice system, has overcome personal obstacles, and is today making significant contributions to society. This is a wonderful opportunity to hear from someone within the system who was impacted by individuals like each of you who made a difference in their lives. I encourage you to keep this award in mind throughout the year and consider nominating someone deserving for next year’s award. I hope that you enjoy this conference and use it as an opportunity to learn from your colleagues and from the presenters who are experts in their field. Sincerely, Leonard G. Cooke Director Criminal Justice Service Board • Committee on Training • Advisory Committee on Juvenile Justice Advisory Committee to Court Appointed Special Advocate and Children’s Justice Act Programs Private Security Services Advisory Board • Criminal Justice Information Systems Committee
