Subject: [Geowanking] seeking academic hosts for "GIS 101 for NPOs"

Hi everyone,

We're planning our fall sessions of "GIS 101 for Nonprofit and Community
Organizations" which is a free seminar we offer in cities around the
country to local nonprofit groups.  (The focus is much more on public
participatory examples and Google Maps, not the latest and greatest
features in Arc or technical comparison of projections :)

Ideally, we'd like to have a local university/college's geography/earth
sciences or urban planning department host these events but August has
been a bad time to recruit hosts in academia.

If you or someone you know would be interested in hosting the event in
your city, please get in touch with me.  It's very low-impact: just
provide a classroom or conference room with Internet access and a
projector.  We even bring coffee and donuts for the attendees and roving
grad students :)  We're currently seeking hosts all over the continental
US for the Fall and Winter tours.

Thanks!
-Jim
