CELEBRATION
On May 22, MARACOOS partners and friends will gather in Washington, DC to celebrate the 20-year
anniversary of our amazing IOOS regional partnership!
Many of you were instrumental in the establishment and development of MARACOOS from its earliest days. As the partnership expanded, existing projects were strengthened, new projects and partners were added, and new communities and partners benefitted from your work and expertise.
It is the expertise of all of you, along with your efforts and your collaborative spirit that formed the foundation and grew the enterprise that serves more than a quarter of US population.
Please join us on May 22 in Washington DC for the celebrations! We have a welcome event on evening of May 21, an afternoon session in
the House of Representatives on May 22, followed by an evening VIP reception in the US Senate. We also will offer support for visits to House and Senate offices for interested MARACOOS friends.
