Event: Federal Geographic Data Committee Virtual Forum (external link)
Date/Time: December 9, 2009 at 1:00-2:00 pm EST
Registration (external link) (free) is required
The first in a series of planned virtual forums, the Federal Geographic Data Committee is bringing together federal government geospatial executives to engage in discussion about the development of a national place-based policy that addresses economic competitiveness, environmental sustainability, community health access and safety and security.
The Library of Congress will provide a panelist to discuss the importance of preserving geospatial data to facilitate temporal analysis for many public policy issues.
This forum is intended for federal government geospatial executives only. Future forums will focus on other policy interests for various stakeholder groups.
