The National State Geographic Information Council (NSGIC) exists to
- 1) Promote statewide geospatial coordination activities in all states
- 2) Advocate for states in national geospatial policy initiatives that support a national spatial data infrastructure.
Toward these objectives, NSGIC provides a number of valuable resources related to GIS coordination and policy that may be of interest to the Utah GIS Community.
