Due to the great response we received to the two ESRI-led workshops in December, the WVAGP Training Committee is doing a survey to see if any immediate courses are desired for the spring or early summer, along with workshop ideas for the WVAGP Annual Meeting in May. Current and potential WVAGP members are welcome to provide this input. If a course is desired by 12-15 people, the Training Committee may pursue scheduling it.

WVAGP is furthering its mission to provide access to trainings for its members by hosting two courses taught by an ESRI instructor:

1. Field Data Collection and Management using ArcGIS (December 19 and 20, 2022)

2. ArcGIS Enterprise: Configuring a Base Deployment (December 21 and 22, 2022)

Pricing for members only and further information are provided at the links.

Pre-registration is open for two potential courses. For either course to move on in consideration, we must have at least 15 students willing to take the course. Right now, the window would be December 2022 or spring 2023 for either course, due to lab, instructor, and schedule availability. Please complete either or both forms if you are wanting to attend either course if we are able to schedule them.
