Dear GIS Colleagues,

We are contacting you to request that you participate in a survey on GIS management practices.  This survey is sponsored by URISA’s GIS Management Institute (GMI).  The purpose of the survey is to analyze current GIS program and project management practices, in order to gain insights and assess current trends.

All respondents will be provided with a report summarizing the survey findings.  In the future, URISA and GMI will make more detailed data available for purchase.  In addition, Peter Croswell of Croswell-Shulte will access the data.  He will use some of the data to revise his GIS Management Handbook, available for purchase later this year, and 30 respondents will be selected at random to receive a free copy of the book.  No personally identifying information will be released, except as authorized by question 26 in the survey.

The appropriate respondents to this survey are GIS program and project managers in all types of organizations. Please feel free to encourage your GIS manager colleagues in other organizations to take the survey.  We appreciate your time for response to this survey.  The survey has 26 questions and should take approximately 25-35 minutes to complete.
