Mission

The Government Affairs Committee (GAC) is responsible for keeping watch on government policies, laws and introduced legislation that affects the Indiana Geographic Information Council (IGIC) and its members.

  • While the GAC will remain neutral regarding any geospatial advocacy the IGIC might pursue itself, or encourage the membership, or a sector of the membership to pursue, it may advise the IGIC’s leadership on matters related to the verbiage of advocacy and position statements if requested to do so.
  • The GAC will notify the Executive Committee when it identifies legislation that may impact the IGIC and/or Indiana geospatial professionals more generally.
  • The GAC will provide executive overviews and other informational material related to legislation to the IGIC’s leadership and/or general membership upon request by the Executive Committee.
