NATIONAL NETWORK
COSEE Council

The COSEE Council consists of one primary and one alternate representative from each funded Center plus the Executive Director, lead of the National COSEE Office (NCO). Ex Officio members of the Council include National Science Foundation (NSF) COSEE Program Managers, key representatives from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the National Museum of Natural History (NMNH).

The Council meets on a regular basis to keep abreast of Centers’ progress and work, make decisions for the Network, plan Network activities, strategize on important directions and/or changes for the Network, review and reflect on the impact of the Network work. The Council meets formally approximately three times per year and, between these meeting, communicates monthly via telecon.
