2026 GDC Journal Spring | Page 20

Congratulations to Gary Bell, SOSTC Superintendent, on his appointment to the National Correctional Peace Officers Foundation Board of Directors. We are confident that his experience and leadership will make a significant impact on the foundation’ s mission to support and advocate for correctional peace officers nationwide.
As part of our ongoing commitment to enhance communication and engagement with the families and loved ones of individuals in our custody, GDC hosts Family Day events once per quarter in one of our 3 regions and at SOSTC. This quarter, friends and family gathered at Georgia Northwestern Technical College in Rome, Ga. to take advantage of the opportunity to connect face-to-face with Wardens and GDC representatives from across the agency, including Inmate Services and Health Services.
