Unlocking What’s Next: Big Upgrades, Big Impact… and Big Prizes

Noble Software is rolling out powerful new features designed to make supervision smoother, communication clearer, and decision‑making stronger for juvenile justice agencies across Texas. Join President Diana DeMedio for an energizing look at what’s new and what’s coming—appointment reminders that reduce no‑shows, updated assessments that sharpen case planning, level‑of‑supervision overrides that add flexibility, and fresh reporting tools that turn data into action. It’s also a chance to rediscover everything your system already does to lighten workloads and support better outcomes. And because learning should be fun, we’ll be giving away prizes throughout the session. Come ready to explore, engage, and leave with tools you can use the moment you get back home.
