GITA will be holding the latest in its series of "Geospatially Enabling Community Collaboration" workshops in the Dallas/Fort Worth area Thursday and Friday, June 16-17. The Dallas/Fort Worth GECCo will be held at the Tarrant County Precinct 2 Sub-Courthouse in Arlington. The GECCo workshop series was launched in 2005 with the active support of the Federal Geospatial Data Committee, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and several other state and local organizations. The Dallas/Fort Worth GECCo will be the seventh in the series. The general objective of the GECCo workshop series is to facilitate interactive discussion among key user stakeholders in a specific geographic area or region for the purpose of identifying and reducing barriers to geospatial data sharing in times of emergency.
