Data User Group (DUG) - Established 11/25/13

Our largest data users (see the members below) were asked to take part in a workgroup. The purpose of the workgroup is to provide feedback on our current data infrastructure as we work to design and implement our new systems. The MHDO wants to improve the collection and release of data as well as communications with partners to ensure their needs are met.

Meeting Notifications

The following are scheduled from 1:00 - 3:00 pm on the last Wednesday of the month, every two months. Meetings will be held in room 415 at the Muskie Wishcamper Center at USM in Portland. Documents and call in information will be made available as dates near.
