At our April 16, 2009 Board Meeting the IGIC Council voted to approve the charters for two committees - The IndianaMap Steering Committee and the Indiana GIS Volunteer Corps Committee.
The IndianaMap Steering Committee. The former IndianaMap Committee was renamed and re-tasked to actively support and provide overall guidance toward the ongoing development of the IndianaMap data and the IndianaMap viewer. Committee members can come from our IGIC membership, and will include representatives from the Board of Directors, Chairs of our IndianaMap Framework Workgroups, plus will include invited representatives from Government, Private Industry, and IGIC Affiliated Organizations. For more details read the full charter here.
The Indiana GIS Volunteer Corps Committee and Volunteer Corps is a new "2-part" group formed to provide geospatial support to the Indiana Department of Homeland Security (IDHS) in the event additional GIS resources are required to support emergency related events across the State of Indiana. The COMMITTEE will identify geospatial personnel, technologies, and materials to support the primary IDHS and local Emergency Management staff responding to an emergency event. As a result, the volunteer personnel identified by the COMMITTEE to support these efforts will form the “Indiana GIS Volunteer Corps” or CORPS. For more details read the full charter here.
Both Committees are in an initial start up phase. Some committee members have already volunteered, and other members are being invited (or drafted) to participate, but we are still looking for more IGIC members interested in volunteering their time and energy to make these new efforts a success. We can definitely use your help! If you think you might be interested, please email one of the committee chairs listed below:
The IndianaMap Steering Committee:
. Bill Holder (Co-chair) bholder@KCGOV.COM
. Rick Hill (Co-chair) hill2@indiana.edu
The Indiana GIS Volunteer Corps Committee & Corps:
. Christina McCullough (Chair) christina.mccullough@us.army.mil
