Programs: During 2017, the iacfp board adopted and implemented a 3-year strategic plan with a focus on five goals. Those goals focus on a highly effective board, being known for a vision, mission and values that are visible to the members; an engaged membership; effective communication that supports the organization's mission and strategies to support members. A member survey was completed to guide implementation of the strategies to achieve the goals. The iacfp recruited and selected a new editor for criminal justice and behavior. The journal achieved a higher impact factor in 2017. In addition, the iacfp began a website re-design for more effective engagement and communication with members. Finally, the iacfp engaged in partnerships that supported research, recognition of best practice and practitioners who are contributing to scholarship and practice, and delivered educational workshops.
