Thank you for attending the
48th Annual NNOA Virtual Symposium

Social distancing recommendations due to COVID-19 changed the way we planned to host our 48th Annual NNOA Symposium.  We took the opportunity to increase our virtual presence and expand our reach among the sea services.  We are much stronger for our efforts and look forward to offering multiple options for symposium attendance in the years to come!  Thank you for making our first virtual symposium a success.
