The previous post was my personal take on the year just gone. This is more of a review from our business perspective.
More of this is contained in our activities and achivements report. And these achievements in 2007 have been considerable.
We have moved forward the debate in a host of areas, not least the implementation process for the INSPIRE directive. We have formed new Special Interest Groups. We had a hugely successful annual conference. Membership income has risen. The AGI team have performed magnificently. And we have made a significant financial surplus. Not a bad list of achievements.
All in all, an excellent year and one upon which we can build in 2008 in order to achieve bigger and better things.
If anyone actually reads this blog, then please have a look at the AGI website. And if you are not a member, well why not consider joining? There are many interesting things coming up. I hope to report on them here as they arise.
About Me
- Alan
- New Barnet, Herts, United Kingdom
- I am the Chief Operating Officer and also the Head of Finance at the Association for Geographic Information (AGI) in London. I know about Finance. I don't know so much about Geography - I came here from the world of the Arts. But I think it is important that the finance guy in any organisation knows a bit about what that organisation does, and why. I have had no formal education in the world of geography but am developing an interest in the issues facing geographers and the benefits which geography can bring in so many walks of life. I need to learn more about geography and the current issues in GI. This blog will follow my process of education and record my reactions to a wide range of events all relating to geography in its widest sense. I hope visitors will find the blog to be of interest. Be prepared to follow me through my learning curve. It may be a bumpy ride!
