Have you taken the GIS Service Pledge?
In partnership with Esri, GISCorps launched a program called the "GIS Service Pledge". Esri has committed to donating personal use licenses of its ArcGIS software for each GISCorps volunteer who takes a "GIS Service Pledge" to volunteer for a good cause.
URISA's GISCorps volunteers can leverage this software donation to support any topic or organization they are passionate about that meets GISCorps' mission and its policies, whether local or abroad. Examples could include supporting a local food bank, land trust, or animal shelter. For details, click here.
Read and Write a Book Review
All at once, we have three books that publishers would like to offer as review copies to URISA members.
If one of these is 'up your alley', let us know and we'll send that title to you to read and write a review for inclusion in an upcoming issue of THE GIS PROFESSIONAL.
The next testing window for the GISCI Geospatial Core Technical Knowledge Exam® as a part of the GISP Certification is scheduled for June 1-8, 2019. Learn more.
