As the Chairman, my responsibility is to work with the CGIA Board and organizations to actively promote the use of geographic information in California. CGIA is active in the promotion of an agenda at the State level to forge a cooperation between local and state organizations that effectively represents our constituents and promotes further development and use of geographic information. We are also encouraging a more active effort state-wide by all levels of the education community to address the State's needs in GIScience research, education, and training. None of these activities are meaningful without you. I invite you to become a member of CGIA to help shape the way geographic information is used and made available.
Membership is available to individuals and organizations.
Apply today by printing the CGIA membership form . If you are already a member consider running for a position on the Board of Directors to represent your constituency. I also encourage you to contact either myself or any of the other Directors who represent you with any ideas or feedback associated with geographic information.
