EDM Program Team

The EDM Program is an executive-supported team with a deep knowledgebase of data governance and data management. The team excels at working on multiple efforts at once, dedicated to improving data stewardship, data management, and ultimately science for NOAA Fisheries. Furthermore, the EDM Program’s well-established, collaborative relationship across the FMCs, NOAA writ large, FIS, external partners like the FINs (Fishery Information Network), and OCIO uniquely positions the program to drive enterprise-wide data management strategies.
