<p class="MsoNormal">Good morning everyone!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Going to give this one last attempt…<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As most of you know we are planning to do a refresh of the GIS Strategic Plan that will cover the next five years. The proposal is to create a committee/working group of no more than 14 members to represent State, County, & City governments,
Tribal Nations, Academia, Federal government and private industry. The IGC Bylaws allow the formation of committees and working groups to address various issues which are then dissolved when their work is completed. There are several proposed outcomes and
goals that need to be addressed in an update Strategic Plan as well as making sure that GIS professionals and practitioners in the state are heard during the process, but the proposed timeline is to have a final draft to recommend to the IGC-EC no later than
the end of Q3 2021.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am sending this out to see if there are others who would like to volunteer for this important activity and who are interested in working with a highly collaborative and professional group to help determine the GIS strategic plan for the
next five years. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you are interested, or know someone who may be interested, please email me at
<a href="mailto:mike.woodford@its.idaho.gov">mike.woodford@its.idaho.gov</a>. We would like to have the committee structure and membership finalized in the next couple of weeks so we can begin in earnest at the start of the new year.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
