I have worked at Clay County for 13 years and was at the US Census Bureau for 3 years prior to working here. I got my Geography Degree from MSU, Mankato with a GIS Certificate. I believe IGIC is and can be a great resource for all GIS users around the state. Working together we can make state wide data better and networking can be useful for troubleshooting problems that arise. I would be happy to be on the board again but am also fine stepping aside and giving others a chance to lead. Either way I will still be active in IGIC.
