County governments play a crucial role in maintaining the smooth operation of our communities, and the security and efficiency of election infrastructure is no exception. Election infrastructure is a rapidly evolving field, with new challenges such as cybersecurity threats, resource and personnel shortages, and shifting voter expectations.

Staying informed on these developments is important for all county leaders, not just election officials. This webinar will provide valuable insights on how robust federal funding of local election offices can bolster county operations, build public confidence, and help your community navigate these modern challenges.

Leading Without Blame: How Psychological Safety Strengthens County Cyber Resilience

The most damaging breaches in county government rarely begin with a sophisticated exploit. They begin with a person — someone who is stressed, overloaded, or afraid to raise a hand. For counties defending elections, courts, emergency services, and water systems,  with lean teams and tight budgets, the way leaders build culture and trust is one of the highest-leverage security controls they own.

This panel brings county leaders together to explore how psychological safety, authentic leadership, and a culture of belief — not box-checking — drive real cyber resilience. Panelists will share candid, on-the-ground perspectives on moving from performative compliance to operational commitment, treating people as the strongest control rather than the weakest link, and using AI to sharpen human judgment rather than replace it.
