I had the opportunity this week to join the Indiana Geographic Information Council, which I'l excited about. In my work the ability to access GIS data brings such another layer of precision and knowledge to our projects, marketing materials, and discussions that to be on the cusp of what's happening at the state level is a simple conclusion.
Here's what the INGISI says about itself:
