"This is a great honor to lead the URISA organization and to represent the members for three more years through the Presidential track. URISA has accomplished a lot over the past sixty years with steady leadership and member volunteerism.  I plan to continue the tradition of excellence set by the trailblazers before me and leave a legacy of servant leadership for upcoming geospatial professionals to aspire to.  Thank you again for your confidence and trust to lead URISA.  I look forward to seeing everyone in Boise, Idaho this fall and, in the chapters, and committees of this amazing URISA organization."
