Good afternoon all,
The Board is looking for people who would like to serve on its work groups. If you feel you have some expertise in either of the
two workgroups outlined below please let me know. Or contact me if you have an interest in one of the other work groups on our
committee web page.
Education and Training
The mission of the Education and Training Workgroup is to expand and improve coordination of geospatial education, training and other
outreach activities in support of better public use of geospatial data. In this capacity the Workgroup seeks to develop and ensure a broad-based and efficient strategy for GIS education and training initiatives among all organizations and institutions state
wide, taking into account special needs of the various constituencies --- K-12, academia, local government, non-profits, and any Maine citizen.
Coordination and Communication
The Communication/Coordination Workgroup seeks to continually improve GeoLibrary outreach relations with federal, state, county, and local
governments, academia, non-profits, private industry, and the general public, by way of documenting and promoting the activities of the GeoLibrary through various media delivery methods. The workgroup also seeks to educate people about the importance of GIS
and using geographic data to solve problems, find new data contributors to the GeoLibrary, and obtain a wide base of support for the efforts of the GeoLibrary.
Have a great weekend!
