  3. Mission Statement Assisting communities and non-profits with GIS implementation, supporting Oregon’s geospatial endeavors, and providing educational opportunities to students and citizens.

  4. Why do this! • I believe that small communities are under served by the geo-spatial community • Either because they are unaware of the benefits, or • Because they do not think they can afford the technologies or services provided by the larger geo-spatial community

  5. Why do this? • I think that a GIS can empower a local community/government and assist them in finding funding opportunities, in being more efficient; therefore serving their community more effectively. • I don’t believe that GIS or geo-spatial services are unaffordable. • I do think that once the benefits of thinking spatially are experienced by the community we intend to serve that there will be a greater need to obtain geo-spatial solutions.

  6. GEO-CEG • Community Enhancement with GIS • Non-profit • Provide small communities (and others) with low cost GIS. • Education • Services • Our focus will be to enable self sufficency • State Standards based • Assist with grant funding

  7. GEO-CEG • Community Enhancement with GIS • Research and participate with the state GIS standards process; giving small communities a voice. • Act as a geospatial advocate for the communities we serve by working with counties and state government to build a open dialog of cooperation

  8. GEO-CEG • Community Enhancement with GIS • Educate city management in GIS data use, creation and limitations • Training community staff in the operation, maintenance and use of their GIS to yield the best possible ROI. • Provide Educational activities for both paid and un-paid internships.
