Background

​

Chartered in October, 1977, the D.C. Chapter was born out of a late lunch hour meeting held on June 7, 1977. The 22 attendees represented various entities of the federal and D.C. criminal justice community. The word and vision emanating from previous conferences in Alabama and Georgia inspired this group of founding members who unselfishly forged the foundation for the future of the D.C. Chapter.
