Really honored to be included on this list! I'm loving my new gig @NASCIO, but it was great to be part of such a driven team at NGA. https://t.co/NEY6X3MROG

@MarkNesbit Trying watching it in the US, it’s even worse!

Making 50 copies of your house key is probably overkill. Using the same password 50 times is also a bad idea. Use passwords that are strong, long, unique & random for each site or account. https://t.co/RKSNcjfNqD #CybersecurityAwarenessMonth #SecureOurWorld

@sam_d_1995 @JuliaManch No, it isn’t.

[Alex Whitaker @AlexWhitaker22]

@NASCIO had a great #NASCIO24 event, even if no one wanted to chat SLCGP at my breakout session!

[Alex Whitaker @AlexWhitaker22]

A little concerned about the turnover rate in this role…

[NASCIO @NASCIO]

NASCIO Government Affairs Directors from past & present unite to celebrate Doug’s 20 year milestone. #NASCIO24

[Alex Whitaker @AlexWhitaker22]

@NASCIO events always have innovative approaches to spurring important conversations, and the fishbowl session at #NASCIO24 is no exception!

[Alex Whitaker @AlexWhitaker22]

A great fireside chat (w/ @ACrawfordDIR @StephDedmon and IN CIO Tracy Barnes) at #NASCIO24 about the new @NASCIO mission statement: Advancing government excellence through trusted collaboration, partnerships and technology leadership.

[Alex Whitaker @AlexWhitaker22]

@JoeBarton_ *vouch

[Alex Whitaker @AlexWhitaker22]

@JoeBarton_ As someone who has watched every piece of Cars media SEVERAL times with my toddler, can voice for this review.

[Alex Whitaker @AlexWhitaker22]

@bobbydwyer1989 All of them. If we start losing peel them off one by one until we start winning again.

I just love how this guy talks: “For all of us, mate, if we’ve got people around us who love us and they’re all healthy and we wake up with some purpose every day, we should all be pretty happy in fact with what we’ve got."

[Last Word On Spurs @LastWordOnSpurs]

🚨Ange Postecoglou on talk of players staying because they’re enjoying life with him as manager:

🗣️"I’m a little bit torn with that. We’re not going in there holding hands and singing songs. It’s how you define the word happiness. My responsibility is to provide an environment for them to fulfil their dreams.”

That doesn’t mean I’m always going to be cheery around the place. I think sometimes that requires me to show them the way forward and that way forward sometimes is tough, but hopefully they get enjoyment from seeing themselves improve, from seeing themselves achieve things, from seeing themselves be part of something special.”

🗣️”That’s the kind of happiness I want. I’m really wary if anyone is getting too comfortable, that disturbs me more than anything else, and I feel like I need to give them a push along. I do feel my role is to give them a sense of purpose.”

🗣️”For all of us, mate, if we’ve got people around us who love us and they’re all healthy and we wake up with some purpose every day, we should all be pretty happy in fact with what we’ve got."
