13 NOAA Organizational Structure

14 NOAA Organizational Structure

15 SES Summit II Highlights Transparency of Mission Improved Internal Practices  NOAA Management actively listens to employees, incorporates feedback into practices  Employees understand & endorse the mission – ensures long-term care & feeding of NOAA Improved External Practices  External partners have stake in the outcome and drive internal administrative requirements  Enhance connections to constituents to ensure we are giving our “customers” what they want  Buy-in from community/stakeholders puts Average Joe in NOAA’s Corner

16 SES Summit II Integration: Moving Forward Under Fiscal Restraint Re-purpose existing systems and capitalize on new developments, technologies, external partners  Linkages between programs facilitate economic & scientific efficiencies  NOAA products and services integrate and meet society’s increasingly complex needs  Partnering with other federal, state, local agencies advance domestic and international agendas–key opportunities on the horizon to work closely with DoE, DHS

17 SES Summit II Communication How well we talk to each other is a key barometer of how well NOAA is functioning. Effective Managers know what to put into the hands of employees so there can then be clarity at all levels

18 Ocean Commission Report Administration’s Response to the U.S. Commission on Ocean Policy

19 Ocean Commission Report Executive Order: Establishment of Committee on Ocean Policy Chaired by chairman of the White House Council on Environmental Quality Cabinet level membership Will advise President and heads of agencies on policies concerning ocean-related matters Responsibilities:  Ocean science and technology  Ocean literacy and education  Ocean resource management
