The Department of the Interior is seeking nominations to its National Geospatial Advisory Committee.
“Geospatial information and technology are essential and growing components of our economy, and play a vital role in helping us manage our resources and achieve critical national goals,” said Assistant Secretary of the Interior for Water and Science Anne Castle.
“The National Geospatial Advisory Committee provides a valuable service in supplying critical advice on important geospatial issues and in working together with the FGDC to pursue the common goal of advancing the use and effectiveness of geospatial information.”
