[Geospatial] Geospatial/GIS meetup

[Janet Reyes]

Hello everyone,

Our next Geospatial/GIS meetup will be held on Thursday, May 12, from 12:00 - 12:50 pm.

Our presentation will be given by Alex Sainz, GIS Project Manager at GEOinovo Solutions. (Some of you may remember that Alex gave a presentation in May 2021 on GEOinovo's GIS support of first responders.)

This time, Alex will present on Leveraging GIS to Support Election Redistricting.

GEOinovo recently completed several projects to support election redistricting. This process occurs after each decennial census (every 10 years), with adjustments made based on population, demographics, municipal boundaries, state and federal laws, and other factors. Our team provided support for school district, health care district, transportation district, water district, and city council redistricting between September 2021 and April 2022. During this presentation, we will introduce the core concepts of redistricting and explain how GIS played a critical role to analyze data, provide visualization tools, and encourage public participation during the redistricting process.



We'll also have time for announcements, discussion, and sharing map-related products you've created or that caught your eye.
Respond "yes" or "tentative" to this calendar invitation to receive the Zoom meeting information from me shortly before the meetup. (Another option: register through Eventbrite<https://www.eventbrite.com/e/geospatialgis-meetups-tickets-300286654467> to receive an Eventbrite email with the Zoom information.)
This session will be recorded.
Feel free to forward this invitation.  Hope to see you there!
