Get Noticed in 2016

For nearly ten years, URISA members have been contributing important content to the Managing GIS column in Esri's ArcNews. The quarterly publication has a worldwide circulation of 600,000...what a great opportunity to get noticed for your good work! 

The next deadline for URISA's Managing GIS column is January 13. Contact me right away at wnelson@urisa.org if you have an article idea. Examples of previous columns are posted online. (Typical articles are only about 1,000 words in length.) 

We appreciate your support each year and offer our heartfelt wishes for the season! As usual, your HQ staff saves vacation days so we can spend the holidays with our families. The office will be closed beginning December 24 and will re-open on Monday, January 4, 2016. 

Happy Holidays!
Wendy Nelson
URISA Executive Director
