Greetings GIS Enthusiast,
I am writing to personally invite you to become a member of NYC GISMO.
Founded in May 1990 by Jack Eichenbaum, GISMO is the New York Metropolitan Area’s largest user-oriented GIS users group with members from city, state and federal agencies, educational institutions, non-profit organizations and the private sector. Our mission is to assist and educate Geospatial Information Systems (GIS) professionals in Greater New York City and to work to improve the development, implementation and maintenance of geospatial information technology. We run on a completely volunteer basis by our members and provide significant networking and professional development opportunities to our members.
Benefits of GISMO membership include:
- Complimentary membership to the NYS GIS Association (NYSGISA)
- Access to GISMO and NYSGISA webinars, professional affiliation groups, and Summit and Conference events.
- Free and discounted attendance at all GISMO and NYSGISA events and forums
- Opportunity to voice your ideas in shaping policies and positions regarding GIS
- Access to all networking, job openings, and support services provided by GISMO and NYSGISA
- Ability to run for leadership positions and vote in elections
Your membership means you are part of a GIS community that advocates for our profession and joins together to move GIS forward. It means organizing in ways that furthers your career and the careers of your colleagues. GISMO can also give you the opportunity to take on leadership roles in your profession by working with colleagues on initiatives of interest to you. For example: An independent team of GISMO members is now working with the Fund for the City of New York to enable strategic GIS Research & Development projects that address top City GIS priorities.
Combined GISMO and NYS GIS Association membership now exceeds 500 total members. Numbers like these translate into influence and the ability to get things done. There is no question that Federal and State GIS leaders pay attention to us. Won’t you join us and add your voice and energy to our efforts? Please go to our website at www.gismonyc.org and sign up.
Best regards,
Jiin Wen, GISMO President; Camille Stewart, Treasurer; Raychell Velez, Recording Secretary
Board of Directors: Wendy Dorf, Amy Jeu, Alan Leidner, Elia Machado, Dara Mendeloff, Camille Stewart, Noreen Whysel, Douglas Williamson, Jack Eichenbaum (GISMO Founder)
