Message From the GAA-SC President
It is time again for the annual GAA-SC Fall Summit. This year’s summit is being held October 14-15 in Florence, SC. This year we have selected topics that have been found to be important issues to you, our members. We will be discussing cloud computing, addressing, and strategic planning and needs assessment. We also have a wonderful opportunity to take part in a pre-summit workshop. We will be offering a CURISA Geospatial Project Management workshop on Wednesday, October 13th. This workshop will focus on applying project management principles to geospatial projects. This workshop will be open to GAASC and URISA membership and will provide GISP credits. I look forward to seeing you this fall at our summit and anticipate that we can foster the exchange of ideas and promote professional interaction throughout South Carolina.
