Message from the President

Our mission is to inform, educate and promote the geospatial industry to support and strengthen geographic diversity in our community. We offer legitimacy with other organizations, authority of knowledge, leadership development and career support. We encourage YOU to participate in local and statewide events and to get involved in the Oregon and Southwest Washington Chapter of URISA (ORURISA).

I would like to encourage anyone who is interested in becoming involved in the geospatial industry as either a GIS-newcomer or as a GIS Professional, to join our professional association. Take advantage of the opportunities that are available for members to establish and improve the quality of our professional and social fabric in the Oregon and Southwest Washington geospatial industry.

Please explore our website and learn who your regional section or special interest group representative is - ask them how to get involved and participate in ORURISA!

Amy Esnard
ORURISA President
