In this episode of The Gate 15 Interview, Andy Jabbour welcomes Mayya Saab, Executive Director, Faith-Based Information Sharing & Analysis Organization (FB-ISAO), Susan Schneider, presently detailed as Associate Director, Non-governmental Engagements, with the DHS Office of Partnership and Engagement, and Daniel Avondoglio, with the Office of Security Programs at CISA. Mayya on LinkedIn. Susan on LinkedIn. Daniel on LinkedIn. Those who want to engage with the DHS Office of Partnership and Engagement may email ngoengagement@hq.dhs.gov. This discussion is not limited in only being relevant to the faith-based community but addresses considerations and ideas relevant to the broader community. During the podcast, when discussing 2023 Threat Data, Andy noted that it is possible that mosques came under attack more frequently than the data suggested. Out of a total of 1027 incidents, mosques were targeted 5% of the time. That percentage, 5%, accounts for the overall number of mosques in the United States and correctly reflects the percentage of mosques that were targeted in 2023.

When did you last receive an e-mail from a government agency? What about a text message? Was it relevant? Timely? Did it understand who you were and what you needed to know? Did it guide you to the right next step? Did it anticipate your questions and concerns? Answering these questions are a good start to connecting an agency's subscriber experience with its customer experience. In this episode of The CX Tipping Point™ Podcast, Martha Dorris spoke to Angy Peterson, the Vice President for the Granicus Experience Group, and Bob Ainsbury, the Chief Product Officer at Granicus. One of the important ways that government can improve the public's experience is through communications that ensures the public or customers are aware of services offered. GovDelivery, one of the products in the Granicus family, helps governments accomplish that.  With govDelivery, Granicus serves more than 300 million subscribers in over 5,500 federal, state and local government agencies. Listeners will learn from that experience during this podcast in areas such as: How agencies are using govDelivery to communicate with their customers, How the subscriber model and audience segmentation helps agencies proactively communicate targeted messages to their customers, and  How agencies can leverage data to which they currently have access.  While many agencies use these tools for synchronous communications and email campaigns, agencies can also use govDelivery to gain greater insights into customer needs and improve the experience of accessing services with proactive messaging to guide customers through complex processes. The real-time data this approach creates is a significant resource in improving the customer experience.

“It’s time to leave Afghanistan.”That’s what the Pentagon’s new acting leader, Chris Miller, wrote in a two-page memo to Defense Department staff on Nov. 13.Related: Australian special forces allegedly killed 39 unarmed Afghans — reportMiller went on to add: “We are not a people of perpetual war — it is the antithesis of everything for which we stand and for which our ancestors fought. All wars must end.”Four days later, Miller announced a major troop withdrawal from Afghanistan, Iraq and Somalia: “By Jan. 15, 2021, our forces, their size in Afghanistan will be 2,500 troops. Our force size in Iraq will also be 2,500 by that same date.”There are currently about 4,500 troops in Afghanistan and 3,000 in Iraq. The administration also aims to pull out all 700 service members currently fighting in Somalia.Omar Mahmood, of the International Crisis Group, said US troops have been training an elite Somali fighting force to keep the al-Qaeda linked group, al-Shabab, at bay. Listen to that interview on The World below. The news from Washington broke late Tuesday night for people in Afghanistan and Iraq, and many learned the next morning.And while some say it’s time for American troops to come home, Miller’s announcement has been met with plenty of skepticism. Many US military experts worry a hasty and uncoordinated troop withdrawal would leave local forces in a dangerous position in both Afghanistan and Iraq, where Americans help train and assist local forces. And some critics say that the move is political — and seems to have more to do with President Donald Trump’s legacy than concern for Americans.Related: At the UN review of US human rights, the Trump administration gets an earfulJavid Faisal, an adviser to Afghanistan’s National Security Council, said the news wasn’t a complete surprise since the Trump administration had already made remarks about pulling out American troops. Faisal said that the Afghan national defense and security forces have been defending the country since 2014 on their own.“They are able to do it in the future, but they will need the support of the international community,” he said, “for financial, training and advising.”“The withdrawal should be a very responsible one to make sure that any decision that’s being taken in this regard does not reverse us. Does not take us back to where we were 20 years ago, when there was al-Qaeda, when there was other insurgent groups.”Javid Faisal, Afghanistan’s National Security Council, adviser“The withdrawal should be a very responsible one to make sure that any decision that’s being taken in this regard does not reverse us. Does not take us back to where we were 20 years ago, when there was al-Qaeda, when there was other insurgent groups,” he added.Many share this concern.“It will be much harder to provide advice and training to Iraqi forces, which is the primary role that’s going on right now,” said David M. Witty, a retired US Army colonel who served in Iraq, including after a major troop withdrawal by the Obama administration in 2011.US forces help the Iraqis fight ISIS, and they limit Iran’s influence in Iraq, he said.Related: An American journalist was murdered in Turkey. Why didn’t the US investigate?“The problem would be, you would basically be turning Iraq over to Iran. There’s no other way to put it,” Witty said.Iran has created and supported a web of powerful militias in Iraq. A drawdown of US forces would mean these militias could have more of a free hand in the country.Meanwhile, the US troop withdrawal in Afghanistan was to be conditional.Last February, the Trump administration signed an agreement with the Taliban. The US agreed to pull troops out in phases and only if the group met a series of conditions: that the Taliban reduces its violence, sits down with the representatives of the Afghan government and cuts ties with al-Qaeda.Retired US Army Gen. David Petraeus told The World that there is no indication that the Taliban has met any of these conditions.“This [troop withdrawal] frankly undermines the efforts at the negotiating table because you’re essentially giving the Taliban what they really want, having already pressured the Afghan government to release some 5,000 or so Taliban detainees.”Retired US Army Gen. David Petraeus“This [troop withdrawal] frankly undermines the efforts at the negotiating table because you’re essentially giving the Taliban what they really want, having already pressured the Afghan government to release some 5,000 or so Taliban detainees,” Petraeus said.Petraeus added that a reduction of forces should always be conditions-based. His concern is that after the US leaves, the Afghan security forces will no longer be able to maintain the security for major routes and cities.Related: He survived torture in a Syrian prison. Now, he’s set to study in the US.Violence in Afghanistan increased as much as 50% in recent months as the Taliban was taking part in peace talks. In its quarterly report to the US Congress, the US Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) said there were at least 2,561 civilian casualties this quarter, including 876 deaths, up 43% from the April to June period.Michael Kugelman, senior associate for South Asia at the Wilson Center in Washington, said that the Taliban wants to have complete power — and that it will have that opportunity if it just waits out the United States and focuses entirely on the fight.Kugelman and other experts told The World that they sympathize with Americans who are weary of war and with families who have loved ones serving in Iraq and Afghanistan.“I think it’s time to bring all troops home,” Kugelman said, “but this is really the last opportunity you have to try to kickstart an admittedly fragile, but nonetheless, existent peace process, and yet you’re whittling away your last elements of leverage by pulling all of these troops very suddenly without the Taliban having done anything first.”Can the US send additional troops back to Afghanistan if needed?Jonathan Schroden, director for the Center for Stability and Development at the CNA Corporation and a longtime military analyst, said it could get complicated.“[The US] would have to get the approval of the Afghan government in order to do that. The current Afghan government, I think, would agree to that type of arrangement, but I wouldn’t want to presume that the US could just do that because it’s not a unilateral decision,” he said.Schroden said troop withdrawals take time. Flying personnel out of the country can be done quickly, but winding down big military bases is a different undertaking.“If they were going to zero, I would say it would be a logistical nightmare to do that by January, to go to 2,500 is still going to be challenging because they’re going to have to close a number of fairly sizable military installations.”Jonathan Schroden, director, Center for Stability and Development at the CNA Corporation“If they were going to zero, I would say it would be a logistical nightmare to do that by January,” he said, “to go to 2,500 is still going to be challenging because they’re going to have to close a number of fairly sizable military installations.”Ultimately, Trump’s decision to bring troops home, Kugelman, at the Wilson Center, said, is based on political goals. The election might be over, but the president is still thinking about his legacy.“He wants to be remembered as the president who brought as many troops home,” Kugelman said.“But when we hear all this talk here in Washington about ending the war, it’s important to remember that by bringing US troops home, we’re not ending the war. War may be ending for the US, but it’s not going to end for the Afghans.”

In this episode, Maria and Scott discuss:The myth of work-life balance and why it hurts your employees more than helps them.Why there is more than one standard organizational structure that can lead to a successful business - and why leaders who refuse to understand that will fall behind.Five workplace concepts that won't exist in five years - and how to prepare for them now. What type of culture makes a team successful and brings out the best in your employees.  Key Takeaways:Create the right culture and do all you can to unleash the potential of the people on your team - get the right people, make them feel empowered to do great work, make decisions, and work together. People will deliver more if they feel empowered. Research shows that annual reviews don't work and critical feedback rarely leads to better performance. Move toward real-time mentorship and coaching between the team members where the expectation of learning and improvement gets so ingrained that people will naturally seek and find experiences to help them close any gaps that they may have. Make opportunities more accessible at smaller increments. Give employees a chance to try something new, to stretch their skills, and learn and grow in many different ways.  "Right now, we are more aware than ever how fast things can change. Even though the pace of change at work was pretty quick before, we've run this giant global experiment that's going to leave us in a new place. It is important to capture the energy of a moment like this." —  Scott Burns About Scott Burns: Scott Burns is a leader in bringing data and technology to complex challenges.

In this episode, recorded on Thursday, June 7, 2018: • Ploughshares Fund's Joe Cirincione joins us to talk about nuclear expectations and grand strategy out of Tuesday's Trump-Kim summit in Singapore; • We’ll talk about what ISIS is believed to be up to in the Caribbean nation of Trinidad and Tobago; • Then (at the 23:26 mark) we’ll hear from Rep. Rob Wittman (R-Va.), who chairs the House's Seapower and Projection Forces Subcommittee.

U.S. News   Yesterday was May Day,  May 1st, a public holiday with its roots in an ancient festival that celebrates Spring in many cultures.  In the late 19th century, the same day, May 1st became known as the International Workers’ Day.  In cities around the world yesterday, celebrations, labor rallies, and protests were seen.  Several protests occurred in major cities across the U.S. with protesters’ messages varying.  Some protesters called for universal healthcare and others chanted for the abolishment of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency in addition to calls for workers’ rights.  A common theme of the protests appeared to be opposition to President Trump as many effigies of the President were seen at several rallies.  Although many rallies were mostly peaceful, the Portland Police Department reported that rocks, lead balls, and full cans of pepsi were being thrown at police officers.  Also, in New York City, police eventually dispersed a crowd in order to clear the streets and sidewalks.     Meanwhile in France, rallies turned into riots as buses were set ablaze and police officers were attacked with molotov cocktails.   President Trump officially declared May 1st as Law Day in an official proclamation.  “I urge all Americans, including government officials, to observe this day by reflecting upon the importance of the rule of law in our Nation and displaying the flag of the United States in support of this national observance.”           Link to Presidential Proclamation (Law Day):  https://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2017/05/01/president-donald-j-trump-proclaims-may-1-2017-law-day-usa   In other news, the Department of Defense released a military sexual assault report that stated 14,900 military service members were sexually assaulted last year which is 5,400 fewer than the 20,300 sexual assault victim reports estimated in 2014.  The departed also said that it will align with the advice of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in trying to build safer military communities.   DOD Report on Latest Military Sexual Assault:  https://www.defense.gov/News/Article/Article/1168765/dod-releases-latest-military-sexual-assault-report/source/GovDelivery/   Late Sunday night, Congress reached a deal on a $1.2 trillion spending bill that will keep the U.S. government operating.  Funds for building additional borders walls were not included in the deal.
