President’s MessageSCARC greetings and THANK YOU to our returning attendees and a heartfelt THANK YOU and WELCOME to those attending our One Day symposium for the first time in 2017. We have provided a variety of presentations that we hope will address some aspect of your current or future work responsibilities. The GIS Community is preparing for emerging technology while focusing on ways to utilize software and datasets that are already in place.

Please take advantage of learning from our colleagues at the symposium and networking with each other as the SCARC Community rapidly increases across South Carolina.

We are looking forward to experiencing and sharing more of the “magic of GIS” in 2018. Enjoy the day and the wonderful sites of Riverbanks Zoo! Valerie Gray SCARC President
