Forming a Regional GIS User Group How and Why to Put the Pieces Together 10 sec Good morning/afternoon. I’d like to speak to you about how and why to put the pieces together to form a regional GIS user group. There is a little work involved in forming a user group but the benefits outweigh the effort.

Why Form a Regional GIS User Group? Peer Networking Info/Idea Sharing Forum 25 sec There are several good reasons to form a regional GIS user group. User groups help promote peer networking by allowing you to form new relationships with your counterparts from other agencies and to strengthen existing relationships. The group can also be a great forum for idea and information sharing between GIS agencies. We often face similar issues so a successful solution by one of us may work for others while an unsuccessful solution may help others avoid similar mistakes.
