MAGIP has added a new Quick Map Vendors page.

This page has a list of vendors who have indicated they are available to field requests to make simple, inexpensive maps for members of the general public.

MAGIP created the page because it has members who work for agencies that receive requests for maps, but are not set up to accept payment from the public.  These agencies need a list of vendors to refer the requests to.

We created the list by contacting the vendors we could find in our membership list and asking them if they wanted to appear on the page.  

Vendors appearing on the page must be registered as a business with the Montana Secretary of State and have an employee who is a MAGIP member.

If you are a vendor who would like to appear on the page, please contact MAGIP.

Sincerely,
Gerry Daumiller
MAGIP Past President.

The year 2018 was extraordinarily positive for the MAGIP Education Committee. First, we had more funds to distribute than ever before, and second we awarded more K-12 Education Grants than in previous years.

In summary we allocated four K-12 Education Grants, and two higher education scholarships. Our grants funded Junior High School emergency response app development, Middle School topographic education, poetry and mapping at the fourth grade level, and the development of GIS and Remote Sensing curricula for Flathead Valley High schools.

The Higher Education Scholarships supported investigations into the geographically influenced dynamics of rural communities, and strategies for protecting grizzly bear movement corridors using conservation easements. Following are short descriptions of the awardees and the projects we funded.
