Bob Irvin, Village Manager of Lincolnshire and I will be presenting as apart of the educational series at the International City Managers Association (ICMA) 2010 annual conference on October 17-20th.

The intent of the session is to offer an in-depth look at how a small group of local governments in the Chicago metropolitan area created a geographic information system (GIS) consortium. Panelists will highlight the benefits of sharing resources and outline how they worked together to develop a comprehensive GIS service. Attendees will learn about the consortium development process and governance, as well as the uses and benefits of GIS.
