WVAGP & WVSPS - Allied Members
 
The WVAGP Board of Directors approved a resolution that the WV Society of Professional Surveyors (WVSPS) become an allied member of WVAGP. As part of a reciprocal arrangement, the WVSPS has invited WVAGP to become an Institutional Affiliate as defined by their current Constitution.  The WVAGP board recently appointed Hussein Elkhansa to be the WVAGP Liaison Representative for the WVSPS. Sam Lammie was also appointed as an alternate.  We are looking forward to continuing our collaboration with the WVSPS on issues of similar interest.

GISCI Certification
 
GISCI

During the Annual Meeting in June the WVAGP membership passed a resolution that recognizes the GIS Certificate Institute (GISCI) as the organization capable of providing a complete certification program to the broad spectrum of GIS professionals in the West Virginia GIS community.

 

On 12 October 2011 the WV GIS Policy Council also passed a motion recognizing the GISCI's certification program.
