Join us March 24 from noon - 1 p.m. to learn how Willamette Water Supply System construction information is being provided visually About this Event Do you have a student who is interested in maps and interactive online technology? Curious how you can learn more about the Willamette Water Supply System, one of the main drivers of your water rates? Scott Fortman, Geographic Information Systems Analyst will demonstrate visually the large diameter pipeline which will be used to bring water from the Willamette River to customers starting in 2026 via ESRI ArcGIS. Flyover views, interactive text and points of interest are enhanced features of the map created using ESRI ArcGIS, one of the leaders in the software mapping industry. Join us on March 24 to get a peek at this exciting new tool. https://consbio.org/newsroom/events/scgis-webinar-building-relationships-matter-geospatial-career-success

The most successful people are often also those who rely heavily on the power of networking. Unfortunately, networking can be exhausting and is probably the last thing that you want to do after a long day. In this session you will learn about building relationships authentically, even while working remotely, and how you can leave the impersonal, transactional nature of networking behind. Bio: Eva Reid, MPA, GISP is a Senior GIS Analyst in the DC Metro area with 25 years of experience in GIS, information technology, training and project management. Eva also owns a consulting business, Eva Reid Consulting, LLC, offering professional development opportunities to women in technology.
