SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Board provides OJP's Assistant Attorney

statistics for the purpose of enhancing the overall impact and
performance of its programs and activities in the areas of criminal and
juvenile justice. The Board may advise on program development and
recommend guidance to assist in OJP's adherence to the highest levels
of scientific rigor as appropriate. The Board provides an important
base of contact with the criminal justice and juvenile justice academic
and practitioner communities. More information about the composition
and responsibilities of the Board is available at: http://ojp.gov/sab.htm.
Prospective members of the Board need to be experienced
practitioners in the field of criminal justice, public safety, or
juvenile justice; or researchers or statisticians in those fields. At
this time, we are particularly interested in applications from senior
practitioners in State public safety agencies.
After consideration of the nominations, the Attorney General will
appoint one or more new members to the Board. The Attorney General will
select members based on their individual qualifications, as well as the
overall need to achieve a balanced representation of viewpoints,
subject matter expertise, regional knowledge, and representation of
communities of interest. Nominees will be appointed to an initial term
of four (4) years beginning in spring, 2017. Following completion of
their first term, a Board member may request consideration for
reappointment to an additional term. Reappointment is not guaranteed.
Typically, the Board meets twice per year (spring and fall) in
Washington, DC Between these meetings, Board subcommittees are expected
to work via conference calls and email exchanges. Members of the Board
and its subcommittees serve without pay. However, while away from their
homes or regular places of business in the performance of services of
the Board, members may be reimbursed for travel expenses, including per
diem.
Individuals who are federally registered lobbyists are ineligible
to serve on all Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) and non-FACA
boards, committees, or councils in an individual capacity.
Submitting Nominations: Nominations should include a resume
providing an adequate description of the nominee's qualifications,
including information that would enable the Department of Justice to
make an informed decision regarding meeting the membership requirements
of the Board and permit the Department of Justice to contact a
potential member.
Any interested person or entity may nominate one or more qualified
individuals for membership on the Board. Self-nominations are also
accepted. Persons or entities submitting nomination packages on the
behalf of others must confirm that the individual(s) is/are aware of
their nomination.
