With the growth of those leading the impact of GIS in their organizations, this group has seen many people joining in, with titles outside of the realm of "GIS Manager".
With this change comes even more value!
If you've been part of this community for a while, you may have noticed there are consistently more and more people who do not identify their role as GIS Manager, or even "GIS" in their title at all. If you're new, there's a good chance you don't have the term "GIS" in your title.
The data shows it - when we got together for our annual GIS Managers Summit last year, over 40% of attendees did not have "GIS" or similar in their title. We are seeing roles from IT, data, executive and business management, and all parts of organizations.
