| Surveying Legislation |
The New York State GIS Association
has been tracking the legislation as proposed by the
New York State Association of Professional Land Surveyors
(NYSAPLS).
We believe the proposed legislation may have significant
negative impact on the ability of the geospatial community
to do GIS. As a result, we have brought this to the
attention of the GIS community as well as the sponsors
of the legislation.
As was agreed in our general meeting of May 20, 2008,
we are providing you a summary
of our actions to date,
copies of the letters sent
to the legislators, talking
points, and a sample
letter
which members of the geospatial community may use to
make their position known to their State Senator and
Assemblymember. As more relevant material is created,
we will notify you and add it to this page.
It is our desire to keep you informed on this important
issue and we encourage you to take appropriate actions
to make your position known to your legislators.
As the legislative session is winding down rapidly,
we urge you to act now!
The NYS GIS Association has been tracking
the legislation (S04396
/ A01927)
as proposed by the New York State Association of Professional
Land Surveyors (NYSAPLS).
Thank you for your support. |

| GIT Ahead Project |
|
Focusing on geospatial information
technologies (GIT), GIT Ahead provides
teacher professional development, educational software
development, and career awareness and preparation experiences
for high school students in schools throughout the
Finger Lakes region. The project aims to help high
school students see geospatial technologies as pathways
to relevant, exciting, and high-demand careers, and
to create higher education pathways for students who
might not otherwise pursue such goals.
For more information,
visit the GIT
Ahead website. |
