We talk a lot about collaboration and sharing information, but at a time of heightened cybersecurity awareness and a limited qualified talent, it is time to make sure you truly are communicating with your IT leadership. The CHCO and CIO from Homeland Security join us to address:
• Ensuring HR leadership is partnering with your CIO where needed
• Enabling managers to address challenges by interacting with IT
• Joining forces with IT to recruit and select capable talent

The Departments of Housing & Urban Development and Veterans Affairs joined forces six years ago in a mission to end veterans’ homelessness: at the end of this presidential run, we are checking in with the initiative that brought down veterans homeless numbers by half. Ann Oliva and Lisa Pape will discuss their efforts to:
• Think out of the box with available personnel & resources to get to where they need to be
• Negotiate and communicate through the levels of high-level decision makers, middle management, and field level staff
• Lessons learned from collaborating & aligning personnel

• Make sure their employees feel heard
• Encourage horizontal mobility, such as rotations, to maintain employee interest and agility
• Connect employees with leadership
