The Western States Caucus from the National States Geographic
Information Council (NSGIC) cordially invites you to join us for our
first annual virtual community Roundtable discussion on Wednesday, March
15th from 1 - 4 pm ET.
Our discussion will focus around the
merits and challenges of building a common operating picture based on
shared, authoritative geospatial data to solve western problems. Join
GIS leaders across western states as we showcase shining examples where
geospatial data and technology were used as an effective tool to
overcome challenges common to our geography. We will also brainstorm on
the roadblocks to achieving this outcome regardless of jurisdictional
boundaries and how we can empower western states and their constituents
to take advantage of the power this technology provides.
