The GIS Council needs to elect a Vice Chair to serve July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021, and then to serve as Chair for the July 2021 – June 2022 term. Since the current Vice Chair identifies with the State Government constituency, the next Vice Chair must be from one of our other constituencies. Self-nominations are encouraged. Please consider stepping up yourself or nominating a colleague for this opportunity to help facilitate greater cooperation throughout the State of California by supporting the collection, acquisition, sharing, and dissemination of GIS data, standards, and policies.
The position’s responsibilities are specified in Section 4 of the Ca. GIS Council Charter. In the past, the primary roles filled by the vice chair has been that of note-taker while the chair leads meetings, as a backup to the chair when needed, and as an additional set of eyes and ears to track issues, events, and calendar items that may be of interest to the council.
Nominations are open until midnight on May 22, 2020. Please use the form in the link below. Questions or concerns may be directed to the current vice chair Jane.Schafer-Kramer@water.ca.gov
