2024 Annual Conference

Welcome to the 2024 Annual Conference!

Location: New Orleans, LA

Leadership Opportunities and Challenges for our Nation’s Courts: Leading Leaders into the New Tomorrow

The United States officially ended the Covid-19 National Emergency in the second quarter of 2023. During the almost three years of the pandemic, senior court leaders were forced to rethink the ways that our nation’s courts do business. The day-to-day working world of courts was upended, and leadership was faced with a myriad of new challenges, as well as opportunities. Widespread innovations and changes were introduced without the necessary time to evaluate their impact. As a result, court leaders recognize that some changes were introduced without the engagement of judges/staff, partners, and court users. Courts need to discover a way to become more agile, while ensuring staff have the tools to work in new environments.

The whirlwind shift to remote work and new technologies brought on other leadership challenges for court organizations. Accountability and court performance became and remains an issue. In a predominately virtual world, it is easy for team members to become invisible leaving leaders to deal with engagement and performance challenges.

While impacts to society continue to challenge our courts, our court’s leaders need tools and resources to access opportunities these new changes bring. It is important to note that when leadership is viewed as a way of being as opposed to a position you hold, individuals begin to realize they can lead from wherever they are in a court organization.

The Annual Conference will deal with leadership opportunities and challenges presented by the skill sets needed to have court leaders lead other new leaders into the future and create future ready courts.
