Tamara Koermer, External Affairs Division Chief/ Commander (O-5) USCG

 

Synopsis:
I will relate my experience in being PM for the USCG in a 2-year, multi-million dollar project which changed the logistics system that supports 1300 maritime first responder stations spread all over the coastal US.  I will relate PMBOK principles to my real-life experience taking tradition-bound sailors from denial & anger to acceptance & enthusiasm in changing the way they support their everyday business of small boat operations on America's waterways.
