How it all started

• The Security Committee assembled a matrix with areas of presentation expertise

• CSCIC was contacted to see if the NYS Forum Corporate Roundtable might help their efforts regarding security education

• While the Forum's focus is New York State government, CSCIC in conjunction with their Multi-State relationship was interested in reaching a wider audience

• Because of the success of a joint collaboration between the Local Government committee and Security/BCP committee using Hewlett-Packard's webcasting technology it was decided that webcasting would be the tool of choice to reach a broad audience

• The National Webcast Initiative was born
