"It is my extreme pleasure to be able to serve the URISA membership and that you have put your faith in me to lead you is truly humbling. I have been a part of the amazing GIS and Geospatial communities since the early 90’s and active in URISA since 2005. Much of my professional success can be directly attributed to my activities with URISA. We are at a crossroads as an industry, with the need for well-educated and specialized professionals, and at the same time GIS is consumed by everyone. As well, URISA is moving in new directions, moving to a new organizational structure that will lead the association for GIS professionals into 2020 and beyond. I look forward to serving as your president and helping to guide the profession as we all grow together." - Keri Brennan, GISP, DataMark Product Manager, Michael Baker International, Indianapolis, Indiana
