PANAMA CITY, Fla. – Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City mechanical engineer Paige George was recently selected to represent the Federal Laboratory Consortium (FLC) as the Southeast Regional Coordinator. “The Southeast is such an important region in the FLC. The technology community is still working hard, even after Hurricane Michael devastated the area,” said George. “I want to make sure that our community (SE) continues to have a strong presence among the Federal Labs and that our technology transfer (T2) opportunities can be shared with everyone.” Her main responsibilities will be to coordinate T2 activities in the region, which includes the states of Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, and Mississippi. In addition, she will be responsible for ensuring all federal labs in the Southeast have the tools they need to transfer technology. George currently serves as NSWCPC science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) outreach programs manger where she negotiates Education Partnership Agreements (EPAs). Under T2 and STEM outreach, the lab collaborates and partners with non-federal entities, from industry and academia, through EPAs and Cooperative Research and Development Agreements. George will begin her two-year term Oct. 1. FLC is a nationwide network of some 300 federal labs and agencies that establish strategies and opportunities for linking laboratory mission technologies and expertise with the marketplace.
