  4. National Geospatial Advisory Committee What were the most valuable parts of the meetings? • Discussions and interactions among members - both formal during the meetings and informal at breaks and evenings • Synergy and creativity that evolve from discussions about subcommittee recommendations • Learning, communication, support of FGDC, chance for geospatial leaders to begin to articulate a common vision for federal geospatial efforts • I appreciate the professionalism and enthusiasm of the membership • Chair, consultant, and Interior staff have done an exceptional job developing process and approach to meetings

  5. National Geospatial Advisory Committee What are the most important things we can do to improve the next series of meetings? • Fewer topics but more in depth debate • Work on solutions that improve cross-sector relationships needed to achieve the promise of the NSDI • More effectively limit overly vocal members • Structure meetings to respond to key questions that government needs advice on • Need clear guidance on desired focus of FGDC Chair • Focus on a more integrated look/approach • Allow more time for discussion and action on our own subcommittee work • Get reports on actions. What happened to our recommendations?

  6. National Geospatial Advisory Committee What are the most important things members can do to improve the effectiveness of the NGAC? • Engage - share expertise/perspective • Actively participate in the work of one or more subcommittees • Participate more in subcommittee meetings before meetings • Engage their stakeholder communities in the issues and opportunities facing NGAC • Come to the meetings with a broader perspective for what’s best for national policy and less focus on what’s best for special interests • Work toward a common vision and “elevator pitch” • Network - get to know the other members

  7. National Geospatial Advisory Committee What are the most important things the staff can do to improve support to the NGAC? • The staff has been outstanding in every respect • Communication tools, internal and external, could be simplified. Other methods should be explored. • Big kudos to the travel/logistics staff • More information and communications between meetings on news and actions that take place in FGDC, the agencies, White House, OMB & Congress • Prepare a summary of the last two years for incoming members • The staff was wonderful. I have no complaints and am definitely appreciative of their efforts.

  8. National Geospatial Advisory Committee What are the most important things leadership can do to improve leadership and support to NGAC? • Continue their respective roles for another session of membership so that no momentum is lost. They have done an excellent job leading. • Leadership sets agenda …without considering input • More strongly encourage NGAC members to propose topics for future meetings • As with the staff, leadership is excellent. The only real frustration is the pace we are setting. We could move faster and produce more. • Continue to keep meetings organized …engage everyone in the limited time we have

  9. National Geospatial Advisory Committee Please provide any feedback or suggestions related to meeting facilities. • Shepherdstown is wonderful but it is kind of remote • We seem to be more productive in Shepherdstown • NCTC is fantastic but inconvenient for me and others • Meeting in Washington area - most effective way to limit number of days away from our own offices as well as hold down costs • Monaco and Marriott meeting rooms were too small • The venues are adequate. Can we think about moving the venues off the east coast? • They all had pluses and minuses • Too much money spent on hotels
