Sea Grant Association Retreat 2000
Sea Grant in the 21st Century: A Vision for Success

back toTable of Contents

Introduction
The Sea Grant Association held a strategic planning retreat July 18-20, 2000 at the Landsdowne Conference Center in Leesburg, Virginia. Participants included Sea Grant Association members, staff from the National Sea Grant Office, and members of the Sea Grant National Review Panel. The purpose of the retreat was to develop a common vision for the future of the Sea Grant Program, and to identify ways to capitalize on the opportunities created by the election of a new administration and Congress in 2000 and the reauthorization of the Sea Grant Program in 2003.

The agenda for the retreat was divided into three major sections: building a vision for the future; identifying challenges and ways to meet them; and agreeing on a near-term action agenda. Discussion took place in plenary sessions and small groups. The following is a summary of the discussions and agreements reached over the course of the three-day retreat.
