National Geospatial Program – Understanding User Needs
Track: National Mapping
Authors: Dick Vraga

The USGS National Geospatial Program (NGP) User Engagement Office is working to improve its products and services by identifying and meeting user needs, and anticipating new needs, with special attention on priority communities of use. NGP has conducted targeted surveys, initiated technical committees and rededicated its Geospatial Liaison workforce to understand user needs. This talk discusses the results of these activities, actions taken and future directions.
