  7. Cool IGIC News 2013 – 2015 IGIC Strategic Plan • IGIC will build partnerships to support and strengthen the Indiana GIS community. • Pervasive, open and free access to Indiana’s geospatial resources is fundamental to the success of Indiana’s geospatial information infrastructure. IGIC will continue to facilitate and ensure that those geospatial resources are sustainable and help to maintain access through leading-edge technology provided by projects such as the IndianaMap at the Indiana Geological Survey (IGS), the Indiana Spatial Data Portal at Indiana University-University Information Technology Services (UITS), the State Data Center Program, the Indiana Business Research Center (IBRC), and others. • IGIC will strive to build and maintain a 1-year operating cash reserve of $150,000. • IGIC will work to attain permanent base-level funding to the State GIS Fund (as defined by IC 4-23-7.3 ) to directly support GIS for Indiana. • IGIC will educate decision makers and the public in the value of Indiana’s investment in geospatial data and technology. • IGIC will grow its membership by providing educational and networking opportunities, expanding member benefits, and providing interactions with corporate partners. • To increase local and statewide resilience to our emerging challenges, IGIC will advance the use of geospatial technology using Indiana’s existing geospatial data. In addition, we will support the development of new geospatial data layers for an ever-evolving understanding of our complex systems. The government defines “resilience” as the ability to prepare for and adapt to changing conditions, and withstand and recover rapidly from disruptions. • IGIC will work with the Indiana Geographic Information Office as defined by IC 4-23-7.3 to develop and advise on standards, interoperability strategies, a data integration plan, and policy related to geographic information. • IGIC will help coordinate and lead local, regional, and statewide projects and programs for the development and dissemination of geospatial data on the IndianaMap.
