Thanks for Visiting


Thank You for visiting our website. The North American Association of Wardens and Superintendents (NAAWS) is dedicated to helping Correctional Administrators everywhere through training, information sharing, advocacy, and networking.

We are looking forward to another great Conference. On April 29th we will be in Raleigh, North Carolina. Secretary Todd Ishee of the North Carolina department of Adult Corrections is pulling out all the stops to fully support us there. We have an outstanding Program lined up with many interesting and current presentations. On our opening night we will have a reception and Casino night. No real money. but a lot of fun with prizes.

Our Business Partners will be there with the latest in Technology, Equipment, Products, and Assistance.

The Conference highlight will be our Warden of the Year Banquet where will recognize our Warden of the Year and honor our Medal of Valor recipients. Of course, one of the best advantages is the opportunity to network with Correctional Administrators from all over.

If you would like to get more involved in NAAWS, or have some creative ideas on how we can better serve Corrections and our membership, please let us know.

NAAWS Executive Director
