Correctional Accreditation Managers Association CAMA

Compliance and Accreditation Managers' Association

Welcome to CAMA!

I consider it a privilege and honor to serve as your president. I take this position very seriously and will do my best to ensure that CAMA continues to grow and reach new avenues to serve our members and their agencies.

The CAMA Board and I are continuing to work to improve CAMA and increase the ways CAMA provides services to you, our members. We ask for and welcome your suggestions and comments in how we can better serve you (CAMA Members) and to improve corrections and law enforcement throughout our great nation.
It is our goal to offer most current and up to date training available. CAMA serves correctional and law enforcement agencies in several ways. Those involved in compliance management and accreditation through associations such as the American Correctional Association (ACA), the Commission on Accreditation of Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA) and National Commission on Correctional Health Care (NCCHC), and the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA). We also provide training topics such as agency management and supervision, policy development and various other training topics. Our network group for our members is a great benefit for our members. Our network group, CAMANet, allows our members to ask questions and share information with all other members.

I hope you will join us May 19th through 22, 2018 in Louisville, Kentucky, as CAMA is celebrating her 31st year of serving agencies who are involved in corrections and law enforcement. Make your plans to be there. We will be sending out surveys to our members asking for suggestions and input regarding the training topics we can offer. I can assure you that we will have the same great training CAMA is known for and you and/or your agency will greatly benefit from.

If CAMA can assist you in any way, please feel free to contact me, your Regional Director, or any member of the CAMA Board of Directors.

Best Regards,
Lonnie Lemons

CAMA President
