ANNOUNCEMENTS
URISA is pleased to announce that Kara
Utter has been named URISA’s Young
Professional of the Year in recognition of
her outstanding contributions as part of
URISA’s Vanguard Cabinet.
Kara is a GIS Analyst for Valley County,
Idaho. She has been an active participant

URISA’s annual conference, particularly
with student outreach and young professional networking
events. She is also the lead for the URISA Marketing Website

The Vanguard Cabinet (VC) is a URISA initiative which
debuted in 2011 to engage young GIS practitioners (35 and

ter understand the concerns facing these future leaders of the
GIS community. The Cabinet’s mission is to collaborate with
URISA’s Board of Directors and Committees in creating and
promoting programs and policies of benefit to young profes-
sionals. Comprised entirely of passionate young members se-
lected from different geospatial disciplines, the Cabinet aims
to position URISA as the center of opportunities for creative
young professionals who are committed to improving URISA
and the geospatial profession via innovation, collaboration,
networking, and professional development.
