Good afternoon Mr. Rickey Sanders,

On behalf of the South Carolina Correctional Association (SCCA), I want to extend my heartfelt appreciation to each of you for sharing your time, knowledge, and expertise during our 2026 Annual Conference, October 25–28, 2026, in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. 

Although the conference has officially concluded, we are still filled with excitement and reflecting on the wealth of knowledge, meaningful conversations, and valuable takeaways from your presentations. You brought something unique to the conference, and your contributions made this year's experience truly memorable.

I especially want to recognize a few of the lessons that continue to resonate with me. Your presentation, Your discussion on gang intelligence was both informative and eye-opening. One of my biggest takeaways was that effective gang intelligence goes beyond identifying gang affiliations. It requires recognizing patterns of behavior, understanding how individuals influence one another, and connecting information that may initially seem unrelated.

Thank you for believing in our mission, supporting SCCA, and helping us make the 2026 Annual Conference a success.

It was truly a pleasure meeting and working with each of you, and I sincerely hope our paths cross again. For more picture, please follow us on our Facebook page named: The South Carolina Correctional Association.

With heartfelt appreciation,

2026 Conference Chair
South Carolina Correctional Association (SCCA)
