COGO Leader for 2011

  26/03/2010
The Coalition of Geospatial Organizations (COGO) has selected as the 2011 Coalition Chair Ms. Geney Terry, GISP, the Urban and Regional Information Systems Association\'s (URISA) Delegate to COGO. Curt Sumner, 2010 Chair of COGO and the Executive Director of the American Congress on Surveying and Mapping indicated that Ms. Terry\'s selection was made by unanimous consent of the Coalition.


Ms. Terry was the URISA COGO Delegate for 2008 and 2009. She has been a GIS Analyst for El Dorado County, California since 1993. She will serve as Chair-Elect in 2010, with her duties as Chair commencing on 1st January 2011.


Among her many accomplishments and service to the GIS community that led to her selection as COGO leader, Ms. Terry earned her Master's degree in GIS from Penn State last May (while working full-time and serving on the URISA Board). She received her undergraduate degree and introduction to GIS in the early ‘70s at Virginia Tech. She has been very active on the URISA Board and various committees for many years. She assisted with development of the GISP certification program. She helped form the NorCal URISA chapter and served as its first president. She has chaired the GIS Certification Institute's (GISCI) Ethics Committee and is a member of the GISCI Working Group on Professional Competency, working in conjunction with the GeoTech Center and Penn State to define core competencies consistent with the new GIS occupations adopted recently by the US Department of Labor.


The Coalition of Geospatial Organizations (COGO) is a coalition of twelve national professional societies, trade associations, and membership organisations in the geospatial field, representing more than 30,000 individual producers and users of geospatial data and technology. COGO has four advisory organisations for which geospatial issues are of critical importance, but not the primary focus.
