National Audubon Society Dangermond Fellowship Webinar on May 26 @ 12pm PST

Title: The National Audubon Society Dangermond Fellowship Presentation of Excellence 25/26

Date: Tuesday May 26 at 9-10 HT / 12-1 PT / 1-2 MT / 3-4 ET

Description:
The Dangermond Fellowship is an exciting partnership between National Audubon Society and Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI). This fellowship is designed to foster the next generation of leaders in the enterprise GIS, science, and nonprofit/conservation sectors. Throughout the year, Fellows receive extensive and immersive training in the full ArcGIS platform. Fellows also work directly with the Audubon network to provide support for new and ongoing projects. This presentation will highlight some of this work, including ways the Enterprise GIS department is incorporating AI to streamline quality reporting of trails and other assets at Audubon centers, providing flood risk assessments for Audubon properties, and large-scale analysis to understand how landscape and habitat plays into Audubon’s work.
