Alabama Chapter of URISA Goals

This coming year I would like focus on moving the organization toward becoming a stronger professional organization by getting more certified GISPs, increasing membership, creating an environment for better networking and information sharing. We will do this by providing the necessary structure to accomplish these goals.

• Increased focus on low cost certified workshops.
• Create certified instructors from the Alabama Chapter.
• Develop stronger relationships with our sister chapters.
• Develop sponsorships from companies and other organizations.
• Work with other professional groups.
• Share information and technology such as web applications with other chapters.
• Develop a student outreach program to develop long term URISA members.
• Create regions in the state to better serve the potential members.
• Increase the board membership to provide more representation for the regions and assist in supporting the chapter.
• Create a social wing of Alabama URISA for a non-structured method of networking and information sharing.
