URISA: The Urban and Regional Information Systems Association

The Urban and Regional Information Systems Association (URISA) “is a multidisciplinary association where professionals from all parts of the spatial data community can come together and share concerns and ideas.” URISA connects the GIS community through webinars, workshops, publications, a career center, and other highly useful web-based resources. Membership greatly increases the effectiveness of the website as URISA Journal, URISA News, URISA Digest, Virtual Resource Center, Online Publications Library, free magazine subscriptions, and RFP distribution to GIS companies are some of the benefits available to members. Members also receive discounts on conferences and significant networking opportunities within the IT/GIS field. This is a very useful resource for businesses or individuals working in this ever-expanding field.
