Annual Report
The NMP Champions provide a report on the NMP to the NRC and Agreement States on an annual basis. The report will address, at a minimum, the NMP activities that are monitored and tracked, NMP quality measures, and NMP annual goals and priorities. The report is normally presented at the OAS annual meeting and has been given at the 2021, 2022, and 2023 annual meetings.
