There is still time to register for CalGIS 2013 – Pathways to California’s Future! being held in Long Beach from April 15th-17th. This is the first year CGIA is a partner with the hosting California URISA chapters. In addition to this honor, one of our board members for education, Dr. Este Geraghty, MD, MS, MPH, FACP, GISP, and Assistant Professor of Clinical Internal Medicine, University of California Davis, is the opening Keynote Speaker.

She has co-authored research in pesticide exposure modeling, statewide mental health service access and use tracking systems; asset and disparity mapping of youth outcomes, and index development for youth well-being and vulnerability. Dr. Geraghty is also the recipient of the Larry L. Sautter Golden Award for Innovation in Information Technology as a part of a team developing an electronic medical record data discovery solution.

In addition to Dr. Gheraghty, the CalGIS 2013 Planning Committee is doing an excellent job of creating a great conference.
