Welcome to Supporting Women in Geography and GIS
More affectionately known as SWIGGIS and founded in April 2007. We are an Austin area organization of female geospatial professionals dedicated to the awareness, education, and participation in Geography and GIS.
Membership is open to any woman wanting to network, socialize, and learn with other women in the shared community. Join us at our next event or review our archives of past events to see what we have been doing.
HOW DO I JOIN? Membership dues are $25 for professionals or $10 for students, annually. Just fill out a copy of the SWIGGIS 2011 Membership Form and attend one of our events. All female geospatial professionals (and aspiring professionals) are welcome.
We are also planning a Membership Drive in March at The Highball bowling lanes. See our events page for more details.
How else can I participate? We are working on a lot of new ways to network and share online. As of now, you can visit us on LinkedIN.
Our 2012 calendar of events can be accessed at Google Calendars. We are very excited about the year to come. If you use Google Calendars, you can easily add ours to your list.
T-shirts – Be the coolest GIS professional on your block! Dues paying members will receive their shirts at upcoming events.
Our Austin chapter is made up of general members, officers, and a support committee. Feel free to contact any of our officers for more information.
