Excellence in GIS Awards


These projects exemplify how GIS is
being used to improve services for
Indiana's citizens. They also help us show
agency heads and community leaders the
importance of investing in GIS.

Projects and collaborations like these
make Indiana a better place to live.
Congratulations to all the winners!
