Geographic Information Systems (GIS) enable powerful analysis and decision-making, but their full potential is often realized through collaboration. This session explores the landscape of GIS collaboration in Virginia and beyond. We'll examine the diverse regional groups facilitating data sharing and joint projects, highlighting the keys to their success and the challenges they overcame. Additionally, we'll learn how innovative tools, like the Census Bureau's Geography Division Partner Portal (GDPP), are streamlining communication and knowledge sharing for even stronger geographic partnerships.
