2011 Annual Meeting and Workshop

The 2011 NeCODP Annual Meeting and Metadata Workshop was held on June 8 and 9 at the University of New Hampshire.

Thanks to everyone for another successful NeCODP Annual Meeting and Metadata Workshop! We really appreciate the level of effort folks made to attend the meeting and workshop. Thank you to our presenters for providing such informative content to the partnership. We provided videoconference/webinar feed for folks who were unable to travel, and hope they were able to benefit from the content of the meeting and workshop!

A very special thanks goes to NERACOOS for supporting these events.

And thanks to our metadata trainers, Ted Habermann and Kathy Martinolich! It was a great challenge to try and make a successful one-day workshop with so much to cover! If you participated in the workshop, NOAA NCDDC is looking for feedback. Please take a few minutes to answer a 10 questions survey:
