One of the favorite events of POPAI’s Annual Fall Conference is the presentation of three awards to excellent individuals who make a difference in Indiana Probation.
The Founder’s Award is a way of recognizing individuals who have significantly contributed to the field of probation in general, and specifically to the POPAI organization.
The recipient need not be a Probation Officer or POPAI member but can be. The selected person, however, shall be characterized by his/her commitment of influence and promotion of professionalism to Indiana probation.
Previous award winners include Judge Vicki Charmichael, Glenna Shelby, Tom Frederick, George Walker, Bruce C. Embrey, Charles Bud Meeks, Linda Parks, Greg Werich, Eric Zimmermann, Jane Seigel, Neil Hannon, and Susan Rice.
This is a wonderful way to recognize Judges, Community Corrections Leaders, or anyone you think has influenced Indiana Probation in a positive way.
There were no nominations submitted in 2023. Please don’t pass up this great opportunity to recognize the best of our community this year.
Nomination paperwork is available on the Founder’s Award page and must be submitted on or before August 6 at 5 PM Eastern.
