| Tribute To Nanette A. Nadeau |

"In the military, there is an adage that “home is wherever the service sends you,” and over the years the Nadeaus called places like Germany, Georgia, and Virginia home. Like other military spouses, Nanette made sacrifices along the way as she bounced from one civil service job to the next, sometimes settling for a lower grade. She started her Federal service career as a General Schedule-2, sorting mail in the Post Office in Giessen, Germany. Finding her niche in legislative affairs, she earned a reputation for excellence and was promoted over time to General Schedule-14 . Despite enduring frequent moves, Nanette found time to earn her bachelor’s degree from The College of William & Mary, graduating summa cum laude, and later added an MBA from the University of Colorado, Colorado Springs, also summa cum laude, all while working full time."

"NOAA’s competitive climate program contributes to local, regional, national, and global weather and water outlooks. These are relied upon by key decision makers in cities and States throughout the country in areas such as agriculture and power generation. The State of Colorado is not only the home to world-class research institutions whose researchers are supported by this funding, but it is also a user of this information for vital natural resource governance decisions."
