USGIF established the St. Louis Area Working Group (SLAWG) to bring together professionals from the government (both federal and local), military, industry, academia and community to create lasting educational and community pathways to geospatial degrees, certifications and/or careers in the St. Louis Region.

The working group works to support or build new geospatial centric pipelines that integrate and amplify existing NGA efforts designed to educate and train individuals from the greater St. Louis area and surrounding region. The end goal of this work is to grow and sustain a populace within the St. Louis region who possess the necessary geospatial skillsets to qualify for and fill existing and future technical, analytic and management careers.

USGIF members can email WorkingGroups@usgif.org for more information or to join.
