State Agency GIS Collaborative

Purpose

The group facilitates communication and collaboration for Minnesota state agency employees interested in geospatial topics and technology, including learning, networking opportunities, and technical resources.

It also advises MnGeo on ways to support and improve the operations and management of geospatial technology within state government. Input from the collaborative helps MnGeo understand state agency needs, focus on priorities, and allocate resources toward priority efforts.
