Like Michael mentioned in a previous email: "Like TNGIC, [URISA] host webinars and conferences, but they also have a dedicated group of geospatial volunteers who help respond to natural disasters around the world and support a wide variety of sustainability focused projects. It’s an awesome way to gain experience, build friendships, and use your technical skills for good."

Hope to see you over on Zoom,
