Structure and Function of the National Plant Diagnostic Network Operations Committee

Authors: JAMES P. STACK

Affiliations: Kansas State Univesrity

The establishment and subsequent development of the National Plant Diagnostic Network (NPDN) was guided by a national operations committee whose members represented federal agencies, state departments of agriculture, and the land grant universities. Through a combination of regular conference calls and face-to-face meetings, challenges were addressed, issues resolved, and policies set. This group provided oversight for network operations and served as the mechanism by which to ensure communications among the five regional networks and the federal and state agencies with whom NPDN interacts. The NPDN has become an excellent model for government-university interaction and the NPDN Operations Committee an effective mechanism to facilitate the development and evolution of the network.
