The Presidential Town Hall held on AMS' first day, was an informal discussion with U.S. Secretary of Commerce, Penny Pritzker, and was moderated by NOAA Administrator Dr. Kathryn Sullivan. The Town Hall touched upon Pritzker's extensive work with the business community and how she has helped advance the President’s priorities of expanding growth and opportunity for all Americans. Guided by conversations with more than 1,600 CEOs and business leaders, and over one-third of the Fortune 500 CEOs, Secretary Pritzker has developed the “Open for Business Agenda.” This bold strategic plan and policy blueprint for the Department of Commerce focuses on expanding trade and investment, unleashing government data for economic benefit, spurring innovation, protecting the environment,and executing these priorities with operational excellence as careful stewards of taxpayer dollars. Secretary Pritzker discussed how NOAA is forming new alliances to help bring its vast data resources to the public. Partnerships such as those with Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, IBM, Google, and the Open Cloud Consortium help address the growing need for access to NOAA’s huge—and rapidly growing—environmental data resource.
