NWGIS Logo How do I Join?

You can become an official member ot the Northwest GIS User Group by attending one of our conferences. One dollar of your registration fee is applied to your membership fee. Becoming a member of the Northwest GIS User Group not only adds you to our distribution list for conference and other activity information, it also gives you voting priveleges on issues that are presented to the general membership at our business meeting at the end of each annual conference.

You can also just be added to our information distribution list by contacting any board member. Board members and contact information can be found at http://nwgis.org/page/directors.

In addition to joining our user group, consider contributing some of your talent and time to help. Most of the need for help comes once a year focused around our annual conference. You can participate in many ways to help plan, organize or operate a conference. Your help will be greatly appreciated by all, you will be making a contribution to our GIS community, and you will have a great experience.
