4H Equipo GIS

I want to take a moment to offer my truest appreciation for all the people at ESRI who have helped make this happen! Without all of you, 4-H Equipo GIS would still just be a very great idea, not a reality!

I want to thank Jack Dangermond for supporting our youth and the program! We are continually overwhelmed by the amount of software, support, and energy ESRI puts into our youth development programs, and for creating the opportunity for the youth to attend the conferences both abroad and in San Diego! Without his support, we would not be able to offer these opportunities!

 I want to thank Esther Worker and Charlie Fitzpatrick for their continuing support, and their belief in the 4-H program! They have provided the best support we could have had. They have been wonderful in promoting youth experiences, and encouraging our youth to explore! They are vital to what we do!

 I want to thank Merrill Lyew and Juan Gomez for the terrific Latin American and Caribbean User’s Conference the 4-H EquipoGIS youth have just attended. This opportunity, both to present, and interact with GIS professionals has made a profound impact on the entire team!

 I want to thank Joseph Kerski for his ongoing support of our criteria and all of the work we do! His input has been essential to improving the skills of our youth!

 I want to thank Ismael Chivite for answering the questions that came from our team! Your direct answer to their question has clearly inspired Clara to peruse a career in GIS, and to believe that she can set her goals high, and achieve it!

 Thanks to all of you for all of your support, enthusiasm, and your belief in youth! You clearly are making a difference!

My deepest appreciation,

 ~Sarah Cofer
