The Balancing Act Between Innovation & Security
A Conversation with Two Veteran CTOs

Thursday, October 24

OUR PANEL: Gil Mara – CTO at Torrance USD & Todd Ryckman – Former CTO at Santa Barbara USD, Founder at Educated Technology Consultants

HOST: Daniel Eickhoff – K-12 Cybersecurity Specialist at Securus360

As an IT leader in a K-12 school district, the challenges never stop: shrinking budgets, new technologies, and the relentless need for stronger cybersecurity. But how do you juggle it all while meeting the diverse needs of students, teachers, administrators, and the community?

Join us for an insightful webinar where two experienced CTOs – one from a large district and one from a smaller district – share how they prioritize projects, secure leadership buy-in, and protect their districts in today’s rapidly changing technology landscape.

Some of the areas we’re discussing:

1. Dealing with shrinking budgets – how to prioritize and obtain approvals
2. Leadership and team dynamics, and how to “manage up”
3. New technologies: challenges, opportunities, trends and hypes
4. Governance and community involvement – facilitating b/w educators, administrators and families
