Modernize your Information Governance strategy for successful AI adoption
In the face of AI-driven digital transformation and an unprecedented surge in data creation and storage, the urgency for robust Information Governance is escalating. This session will dissect the intricate challenges and opportunities that this data-intensive landscape presents.
The data deluge is a double-edged sword. While it propels AI advancements and business innovation, it also introduces substantial risks such as data breaches, privacy infringements, and regulatory non-compliance. At the same time, the regulatory landscape around data protection and privacy is in constant flux at global, national, and state levels. Enterprises must adeptly navigate these waters to transform the coming data tsunami into a strategic advantage for growth and innovation, while maintaining a secure, compliant, and data-empowered future.
Personal Advocacy: Bring Your Own Chair
Originally developed to support Women in Teams and Women in Tech, this session now is for anyone who isn't sure how to take the next step on their desired pathway. This session is for those who yearn to grow your skillset, expand your knowledge and engagement, satisfy your curiosity, or advance your career.
No, you don't physically need to Bring Your Own Chair, but you will learn the origin of that phrase as a call to action, and you will leave with additional guidance, motivation, and - if you need it - permission to advocate for yourself.
Microsoft Teams Governance
In this session you'll gain an understanding of how Teams fits into your Microsoft 365 Governance framework, starting with the Shared Responsibility model, and recommendations for balancing productivity and innovation.
Then more specifically, we’ll introduce the Teams-focused compliance solutions including communication compliance for channels, chats, and attachments; retention policies, data loss prevention, eDiscovery and legal hold for channels, chats and files; and audit log search.
Microsoft Teams Built-in features for Inclusion and Accessibility
An organization that embraces accessibility and inclusivity has better engagement, collaboration, and productivity; and Teams provides a variety of built-in features to facilitate interactivity with all of your personnel. I'll take you through inclusion best practices, accessibility features, building inclusion into your materials as a speaker, tips for organizers, and ideas for participants.

Wyoming Outdoor Recreation Collaborative presentation to Governor Gordon
As the Big Horn County co-founder of the Bighorn Basin Outdoor Recreation Collaborative, I presented and paneled a discussion with Governor Mark Gordon about:
- our efforts piloting a Public-Private partnership centered on Outdoor Recreation
- our mission to promote, enhance, and develop sustainable outdoor recreation that encourages responsible use, personal well-being, and economic benefit in Wyoming’s Bighorn Basin
- our 5 year strategic plan and execution by citizen volunteers and Federal and State agencies
- our early successes fueled the creation of a new Wyoming State Office of Outdoor Recreation reporting directly to the Governor
That new organization helped document our processes to launch 7 more multi-county Outdoor Recreation Collaboratives across Wyoming, and in 2023, the Wyoming Legislature created a permanent trust fund for the office of Outdoor Recreation to support these citizen-led collaboratives.
