2015 Webinar Series

NASCA's Programs Committee is hard at work preparing the topical webinar series for 2015. The webinars provide an opportunity for members and partner associations to share best practices, as well as discuss current issues that states are facing.

The first in the series was on Cybersecurity. The slides and recording are now available in NASCA's online resource center under Information Technology.

Future topics will include public safety/emergency planning procedures and shared services/moving away from silos. We welcome your recommendations for future webinars Send them directly to Shawn Vaughn at svaughn@amrms.com.
