NOAA Mid-Level Retreat:  R. Aune attended the NOAA Mid-Level Retreat at Airlie Center, Warrenton, VA.  The theme of the retreat was on moving toward "One NOAA".  Each of the 140 participants was asked to provide a "One NOAA Success Story" involving themselves or their branch and was asked to discuss it personnel from other NOAA line offices.  The stories focused on how success was accomplished by collaborating across NOAA line office boundaries.  The retreat gave participants from the field an opportunity to see how NOAA operates inside and outside the Beltway and what expertise is required to advance up the ranks within NOAA.
