A Bold Step for the National Spatial Data Infrastructure:The National Geospatial Programs OfficeKaren Siderelis, 2004 NSGIC Annual ConferenceUSGS Commitments • Listen to you • Work in an integrated fashion • Implement partnerships with purpose • Emphasize standards and data models • Push for incentives • Fully staff liaison network across the country

  3. General Liaison Functions • Cultivate and maintain long-term relationships with partners and develop partnerships and supporting agreements for NGPO programs • Foster and improve communication about NGPO and the NSDI • Advise and Consult on Geospatial Data and Technology • Manage the local NGPO program

  4. Specific NHD Support Functions • Coordinate through and support the statewide coordinating body (includes representation from all sectors within a state or region) • Coordinate with Federal, State, Tribal and Local Government in the State or region • Reach back to NGPO Theme Leads and NGTOC • Ortho, Elevation, Hydrography coordination • Support the writing of Agreements • NSDI Agreements • NHD Stewardship Agreements • Provide support in seeking and writing grant proposals • EPA, FGDC, USGS NSDI Support and Data Themes
