Ashburn, VA, May 28, 2010 --(PR.com)-- The IJIS Institute, a nonprofit organization established by a shared private-public vision to improve mission-critical information sharing in justice, public safety, and homeland security, announces that after seven years of distinguished service as the executive director of the IJIS Institute, Mr. Paul Wormeli will be retiring from the position in January 2011. The Board of Directors and the staff of the IJIS Institute wish to recognize Mr. Wormeli for his outstanding service and acknowledge his accomplishments to furthering the mission and vision of the IJIS Institute, as well as contributing to true and valuable progress in the field of justice and public safety information sharing.
Paul Wormeli was appointed as the executive director of the IJIS Institute in 2003. The current IJIS Institute President, Mike Lyons noted that, “In addition to being the executive director of the Institute, Paul Wormeli is one of the nation’s premier thought leaders in the field of information sharing in criminal justice, public safety, and homeland security. His many years of experience and service have fueled his passion for the topic and the great potential it holds for America’s practitioners and communities.”
