Dear Sponsor,
Our first two GIS Day events have been a great success, thanks to your support and participation. This year we are changing the format to provide even more hands-on learning for our students. We hope you will agree that these changes will only make a great event even better.
The event this year will be held at the 165th Airlift Wing at the Savannah-Hilton Head International Airport. Our committee has prepared three tutorials for the students to participate in. In addition, we will have the same tradeshow and map gallery format as before, on a smaller scale. We hope you will be able to attend by sponsoring a booth to demonstrate how your company or organization uses GIS in our community.
As always, the sponsorship will support the cost of the event and additional funds will be used to support GIS education in our schools. Some of the highlights include GIS In-service Workshops for our teachers, GIS at summer camps provided by Georgia Tech, and a GIS lab installed at DeRenne Middle School.
We look forward to your participation, helping us make GIS Day Savannah 2009 even better!
Noel Perkins
Director, SAGIS
