Liaison officer

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A liaison officer or LNO is a person that liaises between two organizations to communicate and coordinate their activities. Generally, this is done to achieve the best utilization of resources or employment of services of one organization by another. In the military, a liaison officer may coordinate activities to protect another unit from collateral damage. Liaison officers often provide technical or subject matter expertise of their parent organization. Usually an organization embeds a liaison officer in another organization to provide face-to-face coordination.
