and as appropriate, seek funding from sources typical for an academic
institution. The Coordinator will organize and host periodic
meetings/conferences that bring together specialists to share ongoing
research efforts and to help build connections among the many invasive
species programs in the region and across the country.

The Coordinator will play a major communications role by preparing reports
and impact statements that highlight the contributions made by the ISRI to
academic, government, and public audiences. The Coordinator will ensure an
ISRI Internet presence, including a regional invasive species research and
outreach database. The Coordinator will report to, and receive guidance
from, the executive committee of the ISRI advisory committee.
