Abstract
The GeoData Alliance: Helping the Geography Generation Create a Better World
Track: State and Local Government
Author(s): Kathy L. Covert
The GeoData Alliance (GDA) is a new innovative nonprofit organization open to all individuals and institutions committed to using geographic information to improve the health of our communities, our economies, and the Earth. The purpose of the GDA is to foster trusted inclusive processes to enable the creation, effective and equitable flow, and beneficial use of geographic information. In this interactive session GDA advocates will engage the participants in an exploration of how the GDA can help the "geography generation" realize its dreams for a better world. The conversation will continue outside after the session.
