32nd Annual Virginia GIS Conference

The Virginia Association for Mapping and Land Information Systems is a professional association in Virginia designed to provide educational and networking opportunities for professionals who have an interest in the mapping sciences in Virginia. During 1989, a group of individuals from throughout Virginia began meeting to lay the foundation for a statewide, nonprofit membership association. This group, realizing the need to bring together the people and organizations who are involved and concerned with the mapping sciences (including cartography, geographic and land information systems, surveying, engineering, geography, photogrammetry and land records management), prepared a Constitution and Bylaws to form the Virginia Association for Mapping and Land Information Systems. Why Join VAMLIS? Formed in 1989, VAMLIS founding members recognized a need to bring together individuals and organizations that are involved and concerned with the mapping sciences. Promoting the free exchange of knowledge and information, VAMLIS offers its members access to a variety of educational and networking opportunities. Striving to be the voice of the mapping sciences industry, VAMLIS encourages a high standard of professionalism among its members and promotes educational, instructional, communication and legislative programs to further advance the profession.
