Abstract

Please join us in an informal discussion regarding a proposal to establish a Women in GIS chapter within the state of Illinois. Our goal is to bring together an inclusive and supportive community of women and allies within the geospatial field with the aim of helping provide a strong network of support, resources, and opportunities to one another as we all attempt to navigate a successful and fulfilling career within this industry. This meeting is open to anyone who wishes to attend regardless of identity or career stage (students are encouraged!). We are open to any and all ideas for how we would like this chapter to look, and are excited to discuss this future prospect with you!
