Teams

Strategic Planning and Implementation (SPI) Team

The SPI Team is responsible for the development of the NERACOOS Strategic and other plans as well as determining how these plans will be implemented.  Input is sought from additional Working Groups and Teams that may be stood up or down as needed.  As such, the SPI Team also generates proposals in response to funding opportunities and guides the implementation of these funded efforts.

The SPI Team is comprised of representatives from the diverse communities involved in ocean observing in the Northeast US and Canadian Maritimes, from data and model providers to those who use and manage our coastal oceans.  The SPI Team includes members from academic, management, non-profit, and industrial sectors.  The initial slate of Team members was sought from and vetted by the Board of Directors. Subsequent membership is determined by the SPI Team.  A Chair is elected by the SPI Team and Executive Committee consisting of the Chairs of the various Working Groups and Teams detailed below. The NERACOOS Executive Director is a non-voting member.
