Stephen Horton, Deputy Compact Administrator - NC

"I want to express my deep appreciation for the help and support that Stephen Horton and Rachel Johnson provided to me. I’m new to ICJ and had only been in my position for about two months at the time. My supervisor was out of the office for the week; although she made herself available to me at any time, I didn’t want to disturb her if I didn’t have to. Fortunately, I would have my first return by air the week she was out. Of course, I wanted my first return to be perfect but that wasn’t the case. Everything was going smoothly until the plane’s departure was delayed for several hours.
