The Carey Group and The Center for Effective Public Policy Joint Announcement

The Carey Group (TCG) and The Center for Effective Public Policy (the Center) are pleased to announce the following exciting news on behalf of both of our organizations.

Effective January 1, 2012, Madeline (Mimi) Carter, Principal at the Center for Effective Public Policy, will also join The Carey Group as a managing partner. Ms. Carter will continue to serve as one of the three Principals at the Center who—as a team—lead and direct the Center. She will also maintain her administrative role with the Center, while continuing to direct and serve on Center-led project teams. She will remain Initiative Director of the Evidence-Based Decision Making in Local Criminal Justice Systems, an initiative funded by the National Institute of Corrections to test the application of evidence-based practices to local criminal justice decisions to achieve measureable reductions in pretrial misconduct and post-conviction recidivism risk. In addition, she will continue to provide her expertise to other projects on parole, gender responsiveness, justice reinvestment, and sex offender management.

The Carey Group is pleased to add Ms. Carter’s talent, knowledge, skills, and experience to its staff. Her experience in evidence-based practices is a particular complement to TCG’s work, but she brings a long and impressive resume in all aspects of project management, criminal justice, and policy work. She has over thirty years of practical and professional experience to the field of offender management, having managed numerous national, state and local projects on a variety of offender-management related topics, including developing policy and guidelines to respond to probation and parole violations, implementing evidence-based practices, advancing effective prisoner reentry strategies, and working with special populations including women offenders and sex offenders. She has authored thirty-six publications on a variety of criminal justice topics, most notably on the management of probation and parole violations, adult and juvenile sex offender management, and offender reentry. She is the editor of the Center’s Coaching Packet series that provides practitioners with practical guidance on the application of evidence-based practices to their day-to-day work. Ms. Carter also directs the Center for Sex Offender Management, and has served as director since establishing it on the behalf of the U.S. Department of Justice in 1996. She has been with the Center in an executive role since 1991.

We believe that these changes, which will affect both our organizations, will strengthen each and enhance our operations and working relationship. We look forward to exploring, together and separately, the benefits this reorganization can bring, both to our organizations and to you as our funders, project partners and clients.

Effective at the same time, Frank Domurad, Vice President of TCG will be retiring from TCG. Mr. Domurad partnered with Mark Carey in 2003 to incorporate TCG. While he may be officially retired, Mr. Domurad will continue to provide consulting and technical assistance on an occasional basis. His substantial contributions to TCG and the field of criminal and juvenile justice are greatly appreciated and will be sorely missed. Fortunately, he will still extend his talent and expertise to future training and technical assistance endeavors, but on a more limited basis.
