If you have not had an opportunity to engage with dg.o, now is the time! The annual conference will be in Gdańsk, Poland from July 11-14, 2023. This year’s theme is “Together in the unstable world: Digital government and solidarity” – a very timely topic. SSTIG will have representation there, primarily in Track 4: Cybersecurity on Public and Nonprofit Organizations. We encourage you to submit a proposal to that track, or any other others (there are 18 tracks). Hopefully, we can see each other in Poland next summer.

Reminder – Vote!
SSTIG’s executive committee invited the two candidates running to be ASPA’s next President-Elect: John Bartle and Miriam Singer to speak at our December meeting. Both were happy to do so, and the committee had a very vibrant conversation with each candidate on their qualification and vision for ASPA. The committee agreed that either candidate would do an excellent job in that position, but we encourage all our members to review each candidate’s Biography and Candidate Statement:
The deadline to get your vote in is December 29, 2022. While you are there, don’t forget to vote on your district representative!
As always, if you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me. Thank you for your commitment to SSTIG, ASPA, and public service.
