The
Urban and Regional Information Systems Association (URISA) and the GIS Certification Institute (GISCI, http://www.gisci.org)
announce that applications are now being accepted for the GIS
Certification Program. GIS
professionals can download application materials and submit their
qualifications for recognition as Certified GIS Professionals and earn

No examination is required.
Upon successful application, applicants must sign the GIS Code
