NARPM Presents...Resource Area Meet-n-Greets are monthly live online sessions hosted by the National Association of Remedial Project Managers (NARPM). The sessions will have presentations from the resource area exhibitors that were present at the NARPM 2023 training program. The goal of these virtual sessions is to spread awareness of services, demo any tools developed, and advertise their teams’ capabilities in supporting Superfund staff.

NARPM Presents...Resource Area Meet-n-Greets is targeted towards any Superfund staff that want to know more about the lines of support that are offered to Remedial Project Managers. THIS COURSE IS NOT OPEN TO ACADEMIA, CONSULTANTS, CONTRACTORS, OR ANY PRIVATE ENTITIES.

*There are no costs to attendees.*

The Networking and Experience Remediation Directory (NERD) has been up for a while now and there are many contact cards with experience spanning the whole of Superfund, but there could always be more! Join us to create or update your own contact card and find Superfund staff to collaborate on site issues.

Prior to attending, please bring 1 to 2 technical or administrative issues from a site you are working on and we will use the NERD to find staff to reach out to. If you do not currently work on a site, other issues are welcome.

Background on NERD:
The Networking and Experience Remediation Directory (NERD) was created by Andrew Schmidt from Region 8 with the help of Cindy Frickle and Json Marruffo from EPA Headquarters. This searchable database is meant to connect remedial project managers, technical support, and headquarters staff who are working on similar sites and technical issues.

NERD is an EPA-only database that allows users to filter lists of Superfund staff based on self-identified experience or expertise in various categories. The result is a stack of "contact cards" containing each user’s photo, contact info, and full list of experience.

This hour long virtual session will consist of a short introduction to NERD, a demo of the SharePoint site with examples of how it has been used, how to create a contact card, how to export search results, and a question and answer session.

Before the webinar, feel free to give a shot at creating a contact card and navigating the NERD. If you have any questions, please bring them to the session!
