Federal Geospatial Program Coordination – The Inside Story
Track: National Mapping
Authors: Dave Saghy, Dick Vraga

Federal agencies are, and have been, working hard to coordinate their programs. Many of the success stories don’t get told because these agencies consider this business as usual. This is the real story how agencies are working together; this talk describes on-going efforts, some with long histories of success and emerging activities. It will describe the role of the U.S. Geological Survey and provide insights into key elements that make these efforts successful and realistic impediments.
