URISA 2013 Election Results Announced

URISA, the Association for GIS Professionals, has announced the results of its 2013 Board of Directors’ Election. Carl Anderson will become president-elect of the association and Jochen Albrecht, Amy Esnard and Ashley Hitt will begin their terms as members of the board of directors, at the close of GIS-Pro 2013: URISA's 51st Annual Conference in Providence, Rhode Island, USA, from 16 to 19 September 2013.

Carl Anderson, GISP, a senior consultant with Spatial Focus, hails from Sarasota, Florida. He remarked that he would like to thank the URISA membership for selecting him as president-elect. He also would like to recognise his fellow candidate, Geney Terry. Geney is an outstanding URISA leader and GIS professional and Anderson stated he is sure they will continue to work together on programmes and initiatives for years to come.

Anderson continued by pointing out that URISA's educational programmes and advocacy efforts are expanding; GISCorps, celebrating 10 years of existence, continues to impact the world; and the GIS Management Institute, URISA Labs and the Professional Practice Division will strengthen the geospatial profession with the development of best practices and standards.
