THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, March 22, 2019 Page 9 Sheriff Koutoujian named to Council of State Governments’ Justice Center Advisory Board he Council of State Governments (CSG) Justice Center, a national nonprofi t organization that develops research-driven strategies to increase public safety and strengthen communities, announced that Middlesex Sheriff Peter J. Koutoujian has joined its Advisory Board. State offi cials across the United States – including here in Massachusetts – have used the fi ndings and technical assistance provided by the CSG Justice Center to develop legislative efforts. In late 2015, Massachusetts leaders asked the CSG Justice Center to help conduct a review of the Commonwealth’s criminal justice system. As part of that review, the Massachusetts Justice Reinvestment Working Group, which Sheriff Koutoujian served on, was formed and produced the policy framework for the state’s criminal justice T reform law in 2017. “The CSG Justice Center has been at the forefront of historic criminal justice reform across the country, bringing its expertise and experience to countless jurisdictions,” said Sheriff Koutoujian. “I look forward to working side-by-side with my fellow board members to ensure this critical work tise related to public safety and health. Together, they set and monitor the policy and project priorities for the CSG Justice Center as well as the projects and programs it administers, including the National Reentry Resource Center, the Justice Reinvestment Initiative, and the Stepping Up Initiative. “We are thrilled to have Sheriff KoutouPeter J. Koutoujian Middlesex Sheriff of increasing public safety and strengthening communities continues.” The CSG Justice Center Advisory Board is composed of a bipartisan group of legislators, court officials, law enforcement executives and state executive branch offi cials; all of them have signifi cant experjian join our advisory board,” said CSG Justice Center Director Megan Quattlebaum. “He is a recognized leader on criminal justice issues not only in Massachusetts but nationwide, and his experience and perspective will be invaluable to our work. We will particularly benefit from his deep understanding of the challenges and opportunities that exist at the intersection of criminal justice and behavioral health.” In addition to serving as a CSG Justice Center Advisory Board member, Sheriff Koutoujian was also recently elected to serve as vice president of the Major County Sheriff s of America, representing sheriff s from more than 90 of the nation’s largest counties. MHSAA 2020 Hall of Fame Gala – Friday, May 1 S omewhere out there among the untold legions of Malden High School (MHS) graduates are alums who have achieved exceptional success or used their abilities and skills to help others, with little recognition, until now, thanks to the Malden High School Alumni Association (MHSAA). “The MHSAA is now accepting nominations for the newest group of graduates to be inducted into the MHSAA Hall of Fame,” according to MHSAA President Anthony Dickinson. The MHSAA is urging alumni and the Malden community to submit nominations for those to be honored as the Hall of Fame Class of 2020. Input from the MHS community is vital. Only family, graduates, teachers or administrators, or former attendees know who among their classmates have made exceptional achievements in their chosen careers or made outstanding contributions to society and deserve Hall of Fame recognition. Those selected will be inducted on Friday, May 1, 2020, in a ceremony at Anthony’s Function Hall in Malden. Eligibility and nomination forms are available on the MHSAA website. Go to maldenhighalumni.com and click on the Hall of Fame buttons. The forms must be submitted no later than March 1, 2020, by mail to MHSAA, P.O. Box 47, Malden, MA 02148, or emailed to MHSAA President Anthony Dickinson at anthonydickinson@gmail.com. The Hall of Fame was founded in 2014 to recognize exceptional MHS alumni. A special committee will select the nominees to be honored from the submitted nomination forms as well as from previous nomination forms that are kept in the mix for three event cycles. To be considered, and to help the Selection Committee make its decision, all applications must be completely fi lled out, including a brief narrative expanding on the specific qualities and achievements of the nominee. MHS alumni are eligible to be nominated 10 years after graduation, or 10 years after attending MHS.
