2010 Midyear Conference
Court Space, Security, and Emergency Planning
Sunday, January 31 – Tuesday, February 2, 2010
The Broadmoor
Colorado Springs, Colorado

Court managers across the country are working through many of the same issues you are. Concerns about pandemics and other emergencies that can affect courts mean COOP plans are being created. Courthouses are being built or renovated.  Someone is updating security. Others are working to “green” their courts. If these are some of the items on your to-do list, or even your future do-do list, come learn from experts in these areas at the NACM midyear conference.

The theme of this year’s midyear conference – Court Space, Security, and Emergency Planning – as well as the conference program, was developed in partnership with the American Institute of Architects (AIA). The courthouse is the central symbol of justice in every community and, at its very best, conveys respect for all before the law, impartiality, and judicial independence. While courthouses have changed radically in their outward appearance through the years, their symbolic significance and purpose remain the same. During our conference we will examine timeless purpose as the base of courthouse design and renovation, together with contemporary challenges, including sustainability, security, and emergency planning.

Monday will open with a keynote address by William Vickrey, Administrative Director of the California Courts, titled What the Courthouse Represents. Workshops for the day explore courthouse security, green courts, and alternative funding options for court facilities. NACM is pleased to offer a workshop on exemplary court design that will be presented by members of the American Institute of Architects (AIA). The always informative exhibit show will be open throughout the afternoon.

Tuesday’s keynote will focus on security, as Michael Claver offers The Big Picture. Workshops will be presented on court security, computer security, COOP and pandemic planning, and design and renovation strategies will be presented by our friends from AIA.

Are you ready for three days of networking, idea sharing, and informative workshops?  Join us in Colorado Springs, and prepare to take your career, and your court, to new heights.
