- A huge shout out to over 50,000 NY educators who signed up and took at least one course from NYSCATE as part of our project with NYSED. It was a massive undertaking and very successful and our outreach was tremendous. Whether you developed a course, facilitated or completed a course - THANK YOU for letting NYSCATE play a role in your professional development!
- I was at the Rochester Convention Center yesterday and I am thrilled to report that EVERY escalator has been replaces and they are all up and running 100%. The staff there is all in place and ready to welcome NYSCATE next month. All data points look great thus far. Be ready to be wowed with some new activities such as drone soccer and rocket races and the unveiling of the the new NYSCATE Lounge! If you have not yet registered or need to be convinced just let me know!
- We need your help identifying outstanding leadership in NY! Please take a moment to nominate a teacher, leader or Superintendent who you know is making a difference for our students. It only takes someone like you to recognize worthy candidates. Go ahead and make someone's day :)

11:00 am ET
Join NYSCATE Corporate Council member Bluum for this highly topical session on building a responsive organizational culture to safely deal with cybersecurity.

Organizations that follow these three steps are better protected against potential threats and more prepared to take action:
- PLAN processes and practices
- PINPOINT vulnerabilities
