NODIS is a leader in GIS and provides spatial data analysis, mapping and programming services.
Three NODIS staff members, Dr. Mark Salling, Jim Wyles and Ellen Cyran, have recently received certification as GIS Professionals. This is a new national program to recognize the growing professional expertise in the GIS technology field. The GIS Certification Institute ( http://www.gisci.org ) has been awarding certification for a little over a year. Certification is based on credentials in three areas: 1) educational achievement, 2) professional experience, and 3) contribution to the profession.
