The Sex Offender Management Board (SOMB) In June 2015, the Sex Offender Management Board (SOMB) established the Family Education, Engagement, and Support Committee, later renamed the Family Education, Engagement, and Support Working Group, in response to concerns from family members of individuals accused or convicted of a sex offense. For over six years, the Working Group met on the first Friday of each month to develop this guide, aiming to support and inform families navigating this complex system. Families expressed a need for clear information about the legal process and the specific provisions and requirements affecting their loved ones.
