A Special rebroadcast from the National Academy of Public Administration, webcast featuring Bobbie Stempfley, Jeff Greene, and Traci Doaks

First aired on September 3 as a NAPA event, we present the audio portion here, given its timeliness and importance. 

As state and local governments face increasingly sophisticated cyber threats and rising digital risk, navigating the current policy and resource environment demands coordinated strategy, strong public-private partnerships, and adaptable governance models. Join Academy Fellow and moderator Alan Shark as the panel examines how evolving federal guidance, grant programs, and threat intelligence will impact the focus on state and local preparedness, and how practical, scalable digital risk management

will be affected—and offer concrete recommendations for public administrators to act decisively in this critical arena of national resilience.
