  1. OH-MI GIS User Group At the 2012 Ohio GIS Conference

  2. About Us • Started in 2002 by former Fulton County GIS Supervisor, Roger Freytag. • Met 1 - 2 times a year in the beginning and now we try to meet quarterly. • Main purpose is to give local GIS users a chance to meet, share information, and ask questions in an informal, supportive atmosphere. • Our meetings also support users by providing opportunities to give presentations, co-host, and present map displays which can be used to meet some of the GISP criteria.
