Board of Directors

The Board of Directors is the governing body of SCGIS. The board is responsible for steering SCGIS activities and has all final decision making authority. Board members are elected every three years. Once a complete board is elected, members of the board elect the President, Vice President, Treasurer, and Secretary. These officers can hold their positions for one year. Elections usually occur after the Annual Conference in July.

The SCGIS board would be happy to hear from you. We can be reached at board@scgis.org
