Board of Directors
The Justice Center Board of Directors provides guidance on the Center’s priorities. It includes state legislative leaders, judges, corrections administrators, juvenile justice agency directors, and law enforcement officials. Together they represent a cross-section of the senior-level state officials who shape criminal justice policy. The Board of Directors convened for its most recent meeting on August 1-2, 2009, in Burlington, Vt. At that time, New York Assemblyman Jeffrion Aubry assumed the chair from Presiding Judge Sharon Keller of the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals, whose term had expired. The board expressed its deep appreciation for her leadership and support. Kansas Representative Pat Colloton was named Vice-Chair of the Justice Center board.
