Pre-notification Announcement
Hello,
The Northeast Regional Ocean Council (NROC) is conducting a survey of its membership and key
partners to gather information on the level of interaction and engagement that occurs outside of
quarterly NROC meetings related to NROC's priority issue areas. The NROC Executive Committee
requests your participation in this survey. The survey is voluntary and should take approximately 10
minutes to complete and will yield results critical to the end goal of improving NROC's outreach and
communication strategy and strategic partnerships. Thank you in advance for you participation.
NOAA is supporting this survey and associated social network analysis. A social network analysis is a
method that is used to collect, analyze, and graphically represent data that describe the relationships
within and between groups of people or organizations. Please direct questions, comments, or technical
difficulties to Adrianne Harrison (adrianne.harrison@noaa.gov or 603-862-4272).
Best,
Betsy Nicholson and Ted Diers
