WVAGP Members,
WVAGP is happy to announce the new State GIS Coordinator, Taryn Moser! Welcome Taryn!
A resident of Monongalia County, Taryn has a wealth of geospatial experience from the private and public sectors, most recently as the GIS Manager for the Morgantown Utility Board. She also was an Associate Committee member of the Monongalia Morgantown Area Geospatial Information Consortium (MMAGIC), where she helped collaborate on projects and cost sharing for yearly aerial imagery flights and a LiDAR data collection. She has been very involved in advancing geospatial awareness and growing interest in the technology from K-12 schools up to various professional organizations, and will continue that effort in her role.
Taryn has also been on the WVAGP Board of Directors since July 2022, but resigned her voting member position to assume the State GIS Coordinator's ex-officio role on the Board, as per WVAGP bylaws. Eric Bess will fill the voting member vacancy on the Board for the remainder of the fiscal year. We look forward to continuing to work with Taryn into the future as she has already begun to make impacts and learn from geospatial professionals and organizations across the state. As President, I am excited for the future and am already learning of ways WVAGP can assist her. Please join me in congratulating Taryn on her new position!
A Call to Action: The WV GIS Steering Committee
As GIS Coordinator, Taryn is working to revive both the State GIS Policy Council and the GIS Steering Committee. I have volunteered to begin recruitment from the WVAGP side for interested members to participate in the revitalized GIS Steering Committee. If you would like to join the GIS Steering Committee, please email me or Taryn to be added to the mailing list. Your participation will be critical to West Virginia's geospatial future and I hope to hear from you soon!
Thank you,
Marvin A. Davis
West Virginia Association of Geospatial Professionals President
