CARLISLE -- Sullivan County is home to three future leaders with the Indiana Department of Correction (IDOC)!

 Wabash Valley Correctional Facility (WVCF) staffers Tammy Rehmel (Training Coordinator), Lt. Bradley Hiatt and Sgt. Ryan Vrzina have successfully completed the 2017 Commissioner’s Experienced and Emerging Leaders (EEL) program. 
 
The EEL program was launched in 2007 to bring together promising mid-level staff to engage in numerous workshops over a one year time span.  The goal of EEL is to fine tune leadership skills vital to the development of tomorrow’s correctional leaders. 
 
WVCF Warden Richard Brown, who attended graduation day ceremonies at the New Castle Correctional Training Institute said, “Tammy, Brad and Ryan are fully invested in the facility and the IDOC and I’m proud of them for stepping up to the leadership challenge.
 
The trio of future leaders bring nearly 40 years of experience to the leadership table.  Forty IDOC employees graduated from the EEL class of 2017..
