Here is one article that discusses the value of the GTCM http://www.directionsmag.com/articles/ten-things-to-know-about-the-gtcm/240972. For the past six months we have surveyed geospatial professionals, surveyed and discussed those results with a subject matter expert (SME) team, and reviewed our preliminary results with a workforce panel. The output of these efforts can be found at <http://www.geotechcenter.org/gtcm-discussions> http://www.geotechcenter.org/gtcm-discussions. We are seeking your input on the resulting proposed edits to the GTCM. Please review the expected changes and comment on our site http://www.geotechcenter.org/gtcm-discussions.
