Government - GS 13

Over the past four years I have helped National Maritime Center which is a outstanding unit in the US Coast Guard to automate many of their process system from paper into electronic databases which has helped save time and money.  As the National Maritime Center's Web Master, I helped streamed line their communication and outreach program by targeting their customers needs.  This has made NMC one of the premier outreach programs in the US Coast Guard.  Their website has grown from 176,000 hits per year to more than 950,000 hits with more than 4 million pages visited from 214 countries around the world.  The world has gotten smaller thanks to websites that do more than just advertize.  Our websites communicates to the world on what we can do - if yours does not call me!
