Strategic Planning for NMFS Protected Resources Outreach and Education (2005)

CONCUR worked with NOAA’s National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) outreach and education coordinators to develop a national Outreach and Education Strategic Plan focused on protected resources. The purpose of the Plan was to coordinate and outline protected resources outreach and education actions for the next three to five years. The three-day effort brought together fifteen representatives from NMFS headquarters, regional offices, and science centers throughout the United States. The strategic planning process built on related agency strategic plans and produced a document spelling out strategic planning goals, objectives, and tasks targeted toward funding, organizational capacity, and communications issues, and a gameplan for moving forward with implementation.
