Court
Services Institute
is a company developed to provide educational programs
to courts, businesses and individuals with the goal
of assisting students in Making Better Choices. Our
programs were created in 2002 using many of the
latest concepts and techniques. We
help to equip students with the knowledge and insight
to improve their decision making process by showing
options that they might never have been previously
able to visualize or implement. With increased self-esteem
these individuals are allowed to become responsible
members of society.
The
CSI Team
consists of our President, Regional Administrator, Information Technology Manager,
Court Liaison, Instructor Managers, and Instructors throughout Washington, Oregon and Idaho. This team is dedicated to serving
the courts, communities and the students who attend
our programs.
Our

capacities for 37 years. She has been a Court Administrator,
State of Washington Court Commissioner and Past President
of the National Association of Court Managers and
Past President of the Washington Court Managers Association.
She graduated with a "Fellowship" from the
Institute of Court Management in Denver. For the last
10 years she has provided educational programs for
the Courts to use in diversion and sentencing programs.
She also acts as CSI's Court Liaison, personally contacting
the Judges, Administrators, and Probation Officers.
She will also be attending their educational and annual
conferences.
Our
Regional Administrator
is experienced in office management and responsible for all aspects of the registration of students: for reporting to the referring agency both compliance and non compliance reports; and to guide the students through the system so the court personnel are left free to handle their ever increasing workload. This office will assure that CSI meets the needs of the courts as well as the students.
Courts benefit with the technical assistance developed by CSI, which allows courts to access our database any time to follow the students they have referred.
Our
Program Director
is a technical writer, published author and lecturer
on educational program development and implementation.
She has developed CSI's new programs, which required
planning and a systematic approach, specifically to
meet the needs of our students.
Our Instructors,
acting as facilitators in a combined classroom and
discussion arena, provide the medium to deliver our
programs. Instructor backgrounds consist of the judicial
system, counseling, law enforcement and education......most with advanced
degrees. They are locally trained facilitators who
have special training in our programs to utilize student
interaction to assist students in realizing their
choices and increase their self-esteem. Each of our
instructors has a special expertise they bring to
enhance the educational experience of the student.
