Des Plaines, IL (June 1, 2023) URISA is pleased to invite applications for its Vanguard Cabinet.
The Vanguard Cabinet (VC), a URISA initiative, is an advisory board made up of passionate, young (35 years of age or younger) geospatial professionals who strive to engage young practitioners, increase their numbers in the organization, and better understand the concerns facing these future leaders of the geospatial community. The Cabinet’s mission is to collaborate with URISA’s Board of Directors and Committees in creating and promoting programs and policies of benefit to young professionals.
