Lisa Holzberger: GIS Coordinator, City of Myrtle Beach, SC.
What was your favorite class in K-12? U.S. History
How did you first learn about and/or use GIS? I was introduced to GIS by a former co-worker in the private sector in 2002. His exact words were, “GIS is the wave of the future.” That same year, I crafted a $200,000 budget to begin building a GIS department.
Name one thing you love about GIS and/or geography: I love how GIS encourages out-of-the-box thinking and real-world problem solving. ArcGIS Online has opened an exciting opportunity for us to get GIS into the entire organization’s hands.
