Building a Future-Ready Digital Government

In June, the chapter hosted a timely discussion titled, “Building a Future-Ready Digital Government.” Richard Holgate, assistant director for science and technology and chief information officer, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, U.S. Department of Justice, moderated the discussion. Panelist included Darren Ash, chief information officer and deputy executive director for management, Nuclear Regulatory Commission; Sean Donelan, program manager, National Cyber Security Division Network and Infrastructure Security, Department of Homeland Security; Gwynne Kostin, director, Digital Services Innovation Center, Office of Citizen Services and Innovative Technologies, General Services Administration; and Ron Ross, senior security scientist, Computer Security Division and fellow, National Institute of Standards and Technology. The discussion gave insight into the Office of Budget and Management's new Digital Government strategy and how implementation efforts, ranging from acquisition to device management, will transform policy into action. Attendance at the Bethesda North Marriot and Conference Center was more than 200. As always, participants arrive in time to network before the panel.
