*Dear Keith Massie*,

*April 4th & 5th, 2016*

*(Workshops April 6th)*


*Just Two Weeks Away!*

*Workshop Space Still Available*

Click *HERE  <http://www.gisinaction.org/content/registration-and-fees>*to
register.

*Only two weeks until the Premier GIS conference in Oregon. *

Please mark your calendars for the *TWENTY-FOURTH  Annual* *GIS In Action
Conference <http://www.gisinaction.org>*, hosted by the Columbia River
Region <http://columbia.asprs.org/CRR> of the American Society of
Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ASPRS <http://www.asprs.org>) and
the *Oregon-Southwest
Washington Chapter <http://www.orurisa.org>* of the Urban and Regional
Information Systems Association (*URISA <http://www.urisa.org>*).

This year, we are back at Portland State University*!*

Each year ASPRS and URISA collaborate to hold this informational conference
on current issues in the Geospatial Information Community. Join us for what
will surely be another successful opportunity to meet with colleagues in
the geospatial industries and organizations, to learn about emerging topics
and recent advances in GIS applications, and to discuss our problems and
solutions together. Don’t miss this amazing opportunity to meet
and network with GIS professionals from the region. Find out who is doing
what, and how.

*MODERATORS ARE NEEDED*

*GIS in Action is a great way to get out and connect with our GIS
community.*

*A moderator’s primary job is to introduce the speakers and let them know
when they are running out of time.   The fun part of moderating is getting
to meet the speakers both before and after the session.*

*If you have been attending GIS in Action during the past 24 years and
wondered how you could give back, being a moderator is easy to do and it is
a big help.   Please consider volunteering to moderate a session that you
are already planning on attending.*

*If you are interested in volunteering for a session please send me an
email and the session title.  I will fill the slots on a first come first
serve basis.*

*Moderators will be given detailed instructions on how to be a good
moderator..*

*Thank you for helping to make Oregon and Southwest Washington's GIS
community vibrant!*
