Ethics Workshop for Geospatial Professionals

Tarrant County College and the University of Texas at Dallas are partnering to host a free half-day workshop for GIS professionals. This workshop will explore ethics in the geospatial and mapping field and will help you to better understand what ethical dilemmas you may face, and how to analyze and solve them.
The workshop will begin with discussions on what principles should be guiding your decisions, various approaches to defining ethics, and what role the various certification agencies play in promoting these guidelines. Next, real-world scenarios that may raise an ethical dilemma will be presented and through open discussion resolutions will be developed.
Attendees should come away with a better understanding of the meaning and practice of professional ethics, how this affects your day to day operations, and how to resolve ethical dilemmas that may present themselves.

Dr. Stuart B. Murchison, Ph.D., C.P., GISP
