Today’s program comes to you from Michigan, Iowa, California, and Alaska.  Tim Lightner (co-chair of this year’s NCSEA Communications Committee -- and coming to you from Anchorage, Alaska) and DeAnna Rice (Administrative Assistant to Director David Kilgore of the California Department of Child Support Services) team up to co-host today’s podcast.  They welcome two new guests, Kelly Micka (Director, with Alvarez & Marsal), and Paul Gehm (of the Michigan State Courts).   Join them as they talk about NCSEA Policy and Government Relations’ subcommittee, Emerging Issues and Leading Practices, and learn about the benefits that the NCSEA membership has from this committee.   Get to know Kelly and Paul as they talk about their involvement with the child support program, how they got started, where their journey has taken them, and their own contributions to NCSEA.


Ever wonder what happens when you pull a microphone out at a conference or a community meeting? That's the spirit of NCSEA On Location. Instead of polished studio sessions, this podcast captures conversations where they naturally happen-in hallways after a panel, at international gatherings, or in quiet corners of bustling events. You'll hear directly from Human Services professionals, from caseworkers to policy architects, along with advocates and community stakeholders who are deeply involved in the system. The discussions are immediate and grounded, offering a raw, unfiltered look at the challenges and innovations in public service. Each episode feels like you’ve stepped into a meaningful, spontaneous dialogue, one that continues long after the formal agenda ends. The authentic atmosphere is even complemented by original music from Joe Mamlin, whose granted compositions frame these real-world recordings. Brought to you by NCSEA, this series is for anyone curious about the human stories behind government services, preferring the sound of genuine exchange over a rehearsed script. Tune in to a podcast that truly travels, bringing you voices from the field exactly as they were heard on the ground.
