Keynote Speaker - Dan Martin, Northeast Regional Geodetic Advisor
In 2022, the National Geodetic Survey will be replacing the U.S. horizontal and vertical datums (NAD 83 and NAVD 88). We will discuss the history of these datums, their relationship to other reference frames, the reasons for the change, and how it affects positioning professionals and their use of these datums. We will spot light how good coordinates can go really bad, without proper planning. The amount of data, how data is used and the type of data users have exponential increased since the NAD 27 to NAD 83 conversion, which has also increased the potential for introducing error.

OneURISA Discussion Forum
Brent Jones, URISA Board Member and  Board Liaison to Policy Advisory and Marketing Committees; will present the OneURISA initiative and answer any questions that you may have about the changes that will affect our chapter.

If you recall many of your participated in SurveyMonkey Survey on the topic in the summer of 2017.  MAC URISA had the most participants of any chapter and the results were considered when creating the final OneURISA plan. 

As written, OneURISA is mandated to be implemented by January of 2020 and will place certain requirements on our chapter and all members, including individual member dues of $195. It does appear that MAC URISA will be able to continue to be own legal entity with our own tax ID, exempt status and financial responsibilities, however, all details have not yet been finalized.  Now is the time for our entire GIS Community to ask questions about these changes and provide feedback about what additional information we need before we can vote as a membership to accept the OneURISA initiative.
