New RIGIS Outreach Survey Now Available!

The RIGIS Executive Committee Outreach Working Group is conducting a new survey during the month of November to learn "Who is the GIS Audience in Rhode Island?" The survey should take about 10 minutes or less to complete.

We’d like to learn who the people and organizations are that we are reaching out to, how they got started with GIS, how they currently use or would like to use GIS, and what more would they like to see happening with RIGIS. This survey will also help us to learn more about RIGIS data usage trends, as well as of new potential data partners.

By taking the time to complete this survey you can help us answer these questions. Your responses will help guide and improve future GIS outreach efforts made in the State by members of the RIGIS consortium.

Please direct questions about this survey to:

Michele Giorgianni
Chair, RIGIS Executive Committee Outreach Working Group
