Committee Tasks:
Continue development of GIS curriculum for use by Education Committee.
Continue to monitor the relationship between GIS and Surveying industries.
Work in conjunction with the Governmental Affairs Committee to prepare proposed legislation to require a disclaimer on certain mapping products.
Work in conjunction with the coordinator of the NSPS Geocaching Project and invite TSPS members to participate in the program.
Work in conjunction with the Membership Committee to develop a membership recruitment plan to obtain new GIS Members.
Texas Geographic Information Council (TGIC) Update:
The TGIC held its quarterly meeting on January 30, 2008. New 2008/2009 officers were elected, including TSPS member Darryl Zercher, who will serve as Technical Advisory Committee Vice-Chair. Darryl has notified me that TGIC recently allowed the Texas Transportation Institute (TTI), a private industry membership. Pursuing TSPS membership on this council will be discussed again at the May committee meeting.
GIS Disclaimer:
The Disclaimer has been accepted to the Governmental Affairs Committee roster of legislative projects. It is currently pending in their committee.
GIS II at Symposium:
Jack Avis presented this 8-hour course in San Antonio at the Spring Symposium and had very positive feedback about the experience. The course activities were well received, and it was a good opportunity to fine-tune the course material. The GIS Committee would like to thank Mr. Avis for all of his hard work on this project.
2008 Salary Survey:
Although the 2008 Salary Survey was offered using an on-line survey website, as well as an insert in the March issue of the Texas Surveyor, we had approximately half of the responses as last year. A summary of the results are below. Please watch for the May issue of the Texas Surveyor for the complete results.

Geocaching:
After contacting the Texas Capital Visitors Center (located in the old GLO building), it was decided that there were too many issues to resolve to place the initial Texas Geocache in this location. I then contacted the City of Austin Parks Department seeking approval of placing the cache at Brush Square Park, home to the O. Henry Museum (O. Henry was a famous short story writer and former draftsman at the Texas GLO). The museum was happy to work with us and the cache was installed prior to National Surveyors Week. It contained TSPS brochures, stickers and bumper stickers, extra copies of the January issue of the Texas Surveyor, a log book (field book donated by Absolute Geomatics, Inc.), pen, Your Career as a Land Surveyor brochure and DVD, Did You Know cards, and O. Henry Museum brochures. I obtained coordinates for the cache and proceeded to list it on the Geocaching.com website. I received multiple emails (even after appealing) refusing to list our cache because of its agenda. The website claimed that they do not support caches that promote one specific organization, even if its a non-profit. I contacted Ernie Cantu, the NSPS director of the geocaching program, and he said that many states are facing the same problem with getting their caches approved and listed on the website. He is seeking to resolve the issue with the management of Geocaching.com. This project will be placed on hold until these issues are resolved.
When and if the program does move forward, the Texas Capital Visitors Center has since contacted me again notifying me that they would really like to participate in the program and proposed placing a cache inside the museum at their surveying/drafting exhibit.
Student Projects:
Discussion will continue on this project at the May committee meeting. Issues to be discussed include the grade breakdown; proposed project for each grade (with the initial goal to create one project per grade and add to it over time); and details of each project so spec sheets can be written.
Geospatial Membership Recruitment:
The committee will be formulating a plan at the May meeting to submit to the Membership Committee to help recruit new Geospatial members.
Respectfully Submitted by:
Brianne Bernsen, Chair
