GLOS is leading the way for coordinating data technologies and services across the region with the help of valuable contributions from our members.  GLOS members represent a variety of data providers, data managers, and data users.  They include government, academic, and non-governmental organizations, as well as private industry and individuals with expertise and interest in Great Lakes water resources. While each member has distinct interests, all are dedicated to and benefit from achieving the GLOS mission: to connect data users with data providers in ways that are supportive of policy and decision making.

To continue in our efforts we need your participation and encourage you to become a member of GLOS today.
