 URISA Connect 

You’ll get the most out of your URISA membership when you get connected to the people, programs, information, and resources that can help take your organization and career to the next level.  

Engage!

Whether you choose to get involved to gain leadership opportunities, build your resume, increase your organization’s exposure in the industry, or give back to the profession, you’ll find a meaningful way to participate in the URISA community.

Volunteering is just as easy as it is rewarding. ​

As a volunteer, you can:

• Contribute to solving industry  issues
• Enhance leadership, team-building and communication skills
• Network with industry experts and thought leaders
• Engage fellow members in meaningful dialogue
• Design and facilitate programming
• Work collaboratively in order to foster a spirit of innovation and creativity
• Learn from diverse people and viewpoints

We fulfill our promise to provide exceptional experiences, a vibrant community, and essential tools—only as a result of the time and knowledge volunteered by members like you, who serve your colleagues and further the geospatial profession. We need your skills, passion, and perspectives to build a vibrant, inclusive, and diverse corps of volunteer leaders. We realize that work and family responsibilities come first, so volunteer time commitments vary widely. Volunteer to write an article for the newsletter (2 hours); participate with a team to develop a best practice (an hour or two a month for six months); or serve as a committee leader for a program you are passionate about (3 years). Some committees may meet via teleconference monthly and most of the work is done electronically via an online collaborative tool.
