It is time to start the survey for this year. If you have about 10 minutes and have something to do with GIS, I ask that you please take the time to complete the survey. You do not need to be a full time GIS user to complete the survey. I am looking for anyone that is: a GIS user, manages GIS staff, hires GIS staff, selects GIS vendors, develops GIS policies and so on. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Here is the link to the survey - <a href="https://goo.gl/forms/IMnZjDFu0hh1Nzpk1">https://goo.gl/forms/IMnZjDFu0hh1Nzpk1</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I will be presenting the results at the <a href="http://www.urisa.org/gis-pro">URISA GIS Pro</a> conference in Palm Springs CA in October as well as other conferences.
