Bob Oglesby honored with the National Walton Leadership Award
Bob Oglesby, Commissioner of General Services for the State of Tennessee, was recognized with NASCA's prestigious National Walton Leadership Award. This award was established to recognize state chief administrators for their passion, outstanding service, leadership and commitment to state government. It was created to honor Ray Walton for his service and dedication to state government and to NASCA. Ray Walton served as the Executive Director for NASCA from February 2011 through February 2015 and the former Director and Chief Operating Officer for the Iowa Department of Administrative Services.
"Bob is a tremendous leader and innovator, both in his role in NASCA and with his state. In fact, his innovative practices in Tennessee have spurred many of his NASCA colleagues to reconsider their own business practices," said Dan Kim, California Director of Enterprise Services, who nominated Bob for the award. "Bob always offers insightful comments and suggestions. Most significantly, he offers a strategic perspective by nudging all of us to think strategically about how we provide business services within our states. He thinks and executes paradigm shifts to do business in a different way. Bob takes the long view - and he follows through."

New Topical Forums on NASCA Collaborate
NASCA is pleased to announce the addition of three new topical discussion forums on NASCA Collaborate, the online community that provides discussion boards and a Resource Library for NASCA Members. These topical forums are designed for senior state staff who have interests in or responsibilities as:
1
. Communication Directors/Public Information Officers
2. Legislative Liaisons/Policy Directors
3. Process Improvement (LEAN, Six Sigma, etc.)
State members requested these forums to better facilitate networking and communication among staff with peers in other states. We encourage members to use the forums to pose questions and share resources, and volunteers will help kick off robust discussions. Similar forums also are available for executive assistants and deputy directors.
Staff members and executive assistants can send contact information and preferred forum(s) to Kayla Leslie at kleslie@nasca.org.
