### What is something about the future of UGRC that excites you?

The ability we have to work with all state agencies and local governments to put data in the hands of decision makers.
First and foremost, it is exciting to work with such a great team. UGRC is composed of smart, driven and dedicated individuals who make working here fun and fulfilling.

Something I believe is important to the GIS community is starting up the Utah Geographic Information Systems Advisory Council (GISAC). This council is an important first step in breaking down communication barriers and facilitating cooperation and idea sharing among state and federal agencies and local governments. I look forward to getting the GISAC up and running in 2025.

Finally, I truly believe that GIS helps people make better decisions. GIS provides a foundation for analysis, it makes the complex easier to understand, it creates efficiencies, it increases productivity, it strengthens collaboration, the list goes on and on. Getting GIS data and tools into the hands of decision makers is paramount and I can't wait to make them all GIS believers too.
