SEPTEMBER IS BABY SAFETY MONTH

Many of us are parents and grandparents and the safety

of our little ones is paramount. This year’s focus is on

the importance of using straps on all juvenile products.

Falls are the leading cause of non-fatal injuries for all

young children. Every day in the U.S., approximately

8,000 children are treated in the emergency room for fall

-related injuries.* The following are places your child

could be at risk:

In the car

In the stroller/carrier

In the grocery cart

In the swing, infant seat and bouncie

On the changing table

In the high chair

For more information about how to keep your little one

safe, go to https://babysafetyzone.org/strap-safety.

SILVER ANNIVERSARY CONFERENCE IN GREENSBORO

25 YEARS—CAN YOU BELIEVE IT!!!! The

NCBAA annual conference and Hall of Fame

Induction in Greensboro proved to be a big

success. Members, sponsors and surety

companies all came together to learn from

each other, and share stories of the past

twenty five years. The membership elected

a new Board of Directors at the annual

meeting. Friday evening, three more out-

standing individuals were inducted into the

Hall of Fame and the PAC raffle wound up

with three winners—Felix Blakney, Randy

Cauthen and Mike Padilla. All three donat-

ed part of their winnings back to PAC and

Mike Padilla donated ALL his winnings.

Congratulations to new Board member John

Russell and Hall of Fame Inductees, Joe

Naillon, Ann Stover and Marshall Swaringen

The NCBAA staff were in full force in their

25 Task Force tshirts, always available to

help out during what proved to be the

biggest event to date. Thanks to Erin Shel-

ton, Brian Olds, Angie Bradley, Kaiya Burger

and Donna Meyer for working so hard this

year. Past Presidents were recognized on

this Silver Anniversary and UNCG Head

Coach and former NCAA Champion Wes

Miller presented Janie Shaw with the recog-

nition plaque for former President Joe Shaw

(may his memory be a blessing). The

Greensboro Police Department Honor

Guard were present in their dress blues as

well and the Koury Convention Center pro-

vided an outstanding night of food and

amenities like we’ve never had before.

Thanks also to Jennifer Shipwash—her

services added that special touch to our

event—and the CANDY BAR was a huge hit!

We were very fortunate this year to have

the new Bail Bond Regulatory Division from

DOI in attendance. Thank you to Deputy

Commissioner John Cable and his staff.

AOC TRAINER

CASHIE LEE

VCAP TRAINING BY AOC IS NOW PART OF NCBAA CONTINUING EDUCATION

If you know a bail agent who has been caught doing good deeds please let us know so

we can share that information. There are times in which the negativity of a few over-

shadow the good work of the many and NCBAA would like to highlight the acts of kind-

ness and social responsibility displayed by our brothers and sisters in the industry.

Email us with your stories at info@ncbaa.com and help us get the word out!

Many of you have been asking

about where to get VCAP training

ever since NCBAA obtained access

to the program through legislation

for all NC bondsmen/women.

Well that training is now available

through NCBAA’s continuing

education program as part of this

year’s curriculum. Cashie Lee is a

Business Systems Analyst with NC

Administrative Office of the

Courts. She began working

with NCAOC in 2012 after serving

8 years as a deputy clerk in

Sampson County. She has a B.S. in

Business Management from the

University of Mount Olive. She

trains many subject matters to the

judicial community including clerks

of court and magistrates. Her sub-

ject matter area of expertise in-

cludes bonds and

bond forfeitures, and how they

should be handled according to NC

general statute. She has recently

been involved with the statute

change regarding Senate Bill 508.

She worked with NCAOC Technol-

ogy Services Division and Office of

General Counsel to implement the

change statewide. With this, came

modifications to VCAP, which is

the system clerks enter bond for-

feitures, and NCAWARE, which is

the system the magistrate’s pro-

cess appearance bond forms.
