It will also be emailed to everyone on the CPATH distribution list, along with the diagram shown in the previous post. Please enter your ideas as comments to the posts on the blog. A brief summary of the Advisory Board meeting is also under Meeting Notes.

Let's keep the dialogue going!

The Folsom Lake College (FLC) Geography Program and the City of Folsom will be partnering to host another GIS Day event at FLC on November 14th from 9 am to 1 pm in the Community Room. Last year’s event was very successful and proved to be a great way for participants to network with other GIS users and to show off their hard work to the general public. This year’s theme is Careers in Geospatial Technologies and will feature several organizations from our community such as the City of Folsom, El Dorado Hills Fire, El Dorado Irrigation District, El Dorado County Surveyors Office, El Dorado National Forest, and others. I hope to see you all there!
