Author: NCSEA July 17, 2024 Duration: 41:45

Today’s episode returns to you from Anchorage, Alaska and Brooklyn, New York along with voices from around the country.  On today’s show, Nick Palos and Tim Lightner lead the rest of a conversation with a group of NCSEA past Presidents, Executive Directors, and other NCSEA leaders including Vernon Drew, Colleen Eubanks, Ann Marie Ruskin, Chris Wood, Lori Bengston, Jim Fleming, Charles Smith, and Joe Mamlin. The group continues their discussion about the history of NCSEA.  They talk about other tumultuous times, including the COVID19 pandemic, and how NCSEA responded.  Their discussion covers notable achievements, program offerings, how we got to the current name for NCSEA, and legislative proposals.  Listen also to perspectives on how we evolved over the years, and where we are headed, to be the voice of the child support community.    Don’t forget to listen next week, when the 50th anniversary podcast series returns, to talk about the impact of the National Child Support Engagement Association.



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.
