Across Country Boundaries: Understanding Important Nuances

Author: NCSEA June 23, 2026 Duration: 29:04

On this episode of On Location, join host David Kilgore (CGITechnologies and Solutions) and guests Kristen Donadee (IV-D Director, California Department of Child Support Services) and Hannah Roots (Attorney at Law).  They highlight the vital work and goals of the NCSEA International Subcommittee, a dedicated group fostering partnerships with jurisdictions across the world to elevate international advocacy. Byfocusing on their core work of professional development, they equip practitioners with the global insights needed to navigate complex, cross-border cases. Ultimately, their mission is about breaking down barriers to discover how they can provide better, more seamless support and services to families around the world.


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.
