Hi Tora,
After talking with Gretchen and looking into GISP certification /a
little further
<http://www.gisci.org/applicants/applicationsmaterials.aspx>/, I'm not
as personally interested in chasing it at this time. Thanks for your
answer anyway; and with those thanks, my hope that this question may
have planted a seed for others to consider for their continuing education.
Kind regards,
Kelly
