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

Some Past Presentations
OH-MI GIS User Group would LOVE to create a web site to promote ourselves and offer support to more GIS users, but volunteers are definitely needed before this can happen.
We have plans to add many new Utility GIS Users to our email list and support them with 1 – 2 annual meetings focused on both Utilities and beginning users.
Continue on with local, quarterly meetings and presentations.
