Ecstatic to welcome so many @NASSorg members to the 2023 Winter #NASSCon!
Looking forward to a productive and informative conference.
Day 1 of #NASSCon featured a New Member Orientation - a great opportunity to learn about the impactful work of @NASSorg and our members.
The day concluded with a reception at @Microsoft. A big thanks to them for their sponsorship and hospitality!
Day 2 of the 2023 Winter #NASSCon kicked off with the Cybersecurity Committee meeting featuring presentations from @CISAgov's @CISAJen, @FBI and @Microsoft.
The @NASSorg Margaret Chase Smith Award for political courage was posthumously presented to Mr. Miguel H. Trujillo. His legacy as a Native American voting rights advocate is an inspiration.
His granddaughter, Ms. Patricia Abeita, accepted the award.
#NASSCon Day 2 continued with a fireside chat featuring @NASSorg President @SecretaryWay and Mr. John Schreiber, @NJPAC President & CEO, on the intersection of civic engagement and the arts 🇺🇸🎭
Rounded out #NASSCon Day 2 with our State Heritage Committee.
@Ancestry joined us to share their innovative 1950s census work.
We also heard from @StateArchivists on their Preparing Archives for Records in Email Initiative.
As part of our @NASSorg#NCSAM IT Director spotlight, we wanted to highlight a few key partners in state #cybersecurity.
The first one up is @CISAgov's @CISAManfra. Follow along with this 5 Q&A thread...

A1: The thing about cybersecurity is no 2 days are the same & you need to be ready for anything. My day typically starts with reviewing the news & current intelligence &...
A1 cont'd:...receiving updates from my team on operational priorities. Based on this, we determine appropriate actions. This could mean speaking with gov’t partners to declassify information about urgent threats or meeting with @NASSorg to discuss next steps on election security.
