- Charge from USGS Director, August 2004
- Strategic Alignment of Activities
-  National leadership of highly visible, high-demand geospatial programs
- Time to bring it all together!

**A Bold Step . . .**

- Strategic Alignment of USGS Programs

## NGPO Directions

**Unify and simplify**
**Act as one, under one executive  ****(Karen Siderelis, GIO)**
**Contribute to completion of the NSDI**
**Include partners in all aspects**
**Be unconstrained by today or yesterday – ****“how we look today is not how we will look tomorrow”**
**Bias toward action**

***“******transformation”***
