URISA GIS Leadership Academy
August 1-5, 2016 – Chicago, Illinois
Significant registration discounts until December 31
The success of any GIS program is largely tied to the capabilities of its leader. Strong leadership is necessary to establish a solid GIS program, operate efficiently and effectively, coordinate participants, adapt to change, and move a program forward. Leadership, however, is a skill that must be developed. The five-day URISA Leadership Academy was established to meet this need.
