Putting Maps to Work for Nonprofits – Webcast by Azavea

This is a webinar by Tamara Manik-Perlman of Azavea. Azavea specializes in the creation of geographic web and mobile software, as well as geospatial analysis services to enhance decision-making. Tamara is a GIS Analyst and Project Manager for the DecisionTree and the Cartography and Analysis teams, performing spatial database development, user interface design, geospatial analysis, cartography, and technical writing and editing. Much of her work, though, boils down to asking the right questions at the right times.

Chances are, your organization possesses a wealth of spatial data and you may not even realize it. This webinar gets you started thinking spatially and will illustrate how maps can be powerful tools for planning programs, demonstrating outcomes, and communicating effectively with funders and policy-makers.

This webinar covers:

• Best practices for collecting, managing and sharing geodata
• An introduction to geocoding
• An overview of key map types
• Pointers to free and low-cost resources to get you started with mapping and GIS

Who should attend:
Nonprofit program, marketing, executive, and fundraising staff as well as IT support staff and consultants.
