[California] FW: Follow-up to the CA GIS Council Meeting on MOnday

Fri Nov 21 17:18:23 PST 2014

Hi Michele,
It was great having you speak at our recent GIS Day event, you did a fantastic job! The California GIS Council is comprised of all levels of government (Federal, State, Local...I want to say there may have been some Tribal representation for a time but that seat may be vacant at the moment), education, non-profit and private industry. This advisory body helps make recommendations about geospatial issues. For me personally, i think the best reason for the council is that it helps keep lines of communication open between these sectors which, in turn helps us to function more efficiently as Californians in general. The California GIS Council email list has been used to announce statewide events, local or regional events, announce disaster relief efforts, find and distribute data, announce government job positions, solicit feedback on standards and to keep the California GIS Community close.
A couple ways you could get involved: (1) subscribe to the email list (and speak up if you've got something to say - instructions after my signature), (2) attend council meetings and help advise your fellow GIS folks (either via webex or in person - meetings are announced over the list).
Thanks,

Christina Boggs

    Hi Bob,

    I'm definitely interested in learning more about this.  Can you (or
    maybe Christina) give us a little more background on this?  And in
    what way can members of the California Chapter could be involved? 
    Thanks!

    best,

    Michele

        Hello everyone,

                        Hope you had a great GIS
          Day!

        At Monday’s GIS
          Council meeting, the Council decided to keep the comment
          period on the Council’s draft charter open to solicit
          additional feedback in anticipation of mid-December vote. The
          current Charter and draft revision are attached. Please
            submit comments and revised language to Mark Greninger (MGreninger at cio.lacounty.gov)
            by COB Tuesday, December 2, 2014.

        Mark will schedule
          another meeting of the Governance Committee to review and
          incorporate updates, circulate among existing Council members,
          and develop and new draft.

        The final draft
          revision will be circulated after that date along with
          instructions for a scheduled meeting of the Council to vote on
          the revision.

        Thank you!

        Mark
