Court Managers Meet for Annual Spring Conference
Court management professionals attending this week’s annual Ohio Association for Court Administration (OACA) spring conference will learn about budgeting in tough economic times and dealing with problem employees.
Judge Reginald J. Routson and Kimberly M. Switzer, director of court services, for the Hancock County Common Pleas Court will present the budgeting session today. They will discuss the challenges courts face during the current economic climate and ways to work successfully with stakeholders during the budgeting process.
Earlier today, Doug Stephens, director of the Supreme Court of Ohio Judicial and Court Services Division, gave an Ohio courts update and reviewed recent legislation impacting courts.
The problem employee session on Wednesday focused on how to identify these employees, how to avoid hiring them in the first place, and how to effectively confront their problematic behaviors.
As the professional association of court managers established in 1973, OACA consists of more than 200 members from all court jurisdictions and court-related agencies and focuses on enhancing their professional development and leadership skills, improving the administration of justice through modern management practices and providing legislative and policy updates.
OACA’s two annual conferences offer continuing legal education opportunities and a chance to hear from leaders in the fields of court technology, personnel management, financial management, team building, court security and other areas of interest for court managers.
