shrug-l: FW: Learn about GIS Leadership at the ULA

[Tripp Corbin]

URISA is pleased to announce that Marcus Rouhani, Airport GIS Program
Manager for the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), will provide
the Keynote Address at this year's URISA Leadership Academy (ULA).
<http://www.urisa.org/ula> The ULA will be presented in Baltimore,
Maryland, June 14-18, 2010. 
 
The success of any GIS program is largely tied to the capabilities of
its leader.  Strong leadership is necessary to establish a solid GIS
program, operate efficiently and effectively, coordinate participants,
adapt to change, and move a program forward.  Leadership, however, is a
skill that must be developed. The URISA Leadership Academy was
established to meet this important need.  At the Academy, participants
learn key GIS leadership and management factors and techniques,
successful team development, organizational capacity building, program
investment and justification, GIS politics, change management, situation
assessment, and problem solving.  The environment further provides for
productive collaboration and networking. 

ULA graduates have included GIS professionals from all levels of
government, tribal nations, the private sector, consultants, academia...
from around the world. Add your name to the list this year!

"I've been working in the GIS field for 15 years and this was, by far,
the most valuable and comprehensive training I have received. No matter
how much you think you know about GIS management, you will learn more
than you ever thought possible." - Scott A Weisman, GISP, GIS Technical
Services Manager, Tallahassee Leon County GIS - ULA Graduate, December
2009 

The entire faculty of the ULA is comprised of Certified GIS
Professionals (GISPs) with proven experience leading both public and
private sector organizations of all types and sizes. Make plans to
attend the ULA today. Participation is limited.

"The ULA provided a rare moment to bring some of the top leaders in the
GIS field together to extend their experience with folks that truly
believe in GIS and want to make a difference locally, regionally and
maybe nationally in the future.  The broad knowledge base allowed the
ULA to touch on every skill that is needed to make us leaders in our
respective communities."  - Chris Cantrell, GIS Coordinator, Midland
County, Michigan - ULA Graduate, December 2009
