Scope and Linkages

The efficiency and the very existence of the TTC depends on the clientele. The TTC will not only provide services to the clientele, but, equally importantly, the Consortium will continually solicit information and feedback from the clientele. This feedback will ensure that the TTC remains connected to the clientele and responsive to client needs. The primary clientele of the Consortium will be the NRCS Field Staff working in tropical areas and the state and area resource specialists. The consortium also has an explicit mandate to cooperate with and serve other organizations and institutes both within and outside of the NRCS. The consortium will be responsive to the information and technology needs of policy makers both within and outside the agency.
