Committees: Get Involved!

Much of NSGIC's substantive work happens in our active committees. NSGIC members are encouraged to consider a role in one or more committees. It's a great way to get to know other members, increase your visibility and contribute to the greater geospatial community.

Contact a committee chair to learn more about how to get involved.  

Certain membership or sponsorship designations are required for participation in some committees, while some committees are open to non-members. Non-members will need to create a NSGIC limited access account to join any committees.
