Spring Directors' Meeting UYCA hosted the Spring Directors' Meeting at the Holiday Inn Express in Anchorage on April 8 and 9, 2009. This was a great opportunity for the directors to exchange ideas and engage in training. The Alaska Division of Juvenile Justice assisted in the training by providing Logic Training, facilitated by the Foraker Group. The directors found this training to be very valuable in terms of strategic planning and decision making. Spring Directors' Meeting Announced Juneau will be the host community for the 2010 Spring Directors' Meeting. The dates have not been set at this time.
