Today’s episode comes to you from Ohio, Michigan, Texas, and Alaska. Join Tim Lightner (eWorld Enterprise Solutions, based in Anchorage, Alaska) and Lisa Westfall (Franklin County Child Support Enforcement Agency in Columbus, Ohio). They are pleased to be joined by two of NCSEA’s Presidents:  Erin Frisch (NCSEA’s recent former President, and IV-D Director for the Michigan Office of Child Support), and Charles Smith (NCSEA’s newest President, and Vice President of Business Development at GreenCourt Legal Technologies). Listen as each talk about being thoughtful stewards of NCSEA, their own contributions, and reflections on where they are heading. From building community to holistic change, listen in for an engaging conversation.


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.
