Staff Training- ArcGIS

Steuben County Plan Commission Assistant Plan Director Vina Conti recently attended a GIS training course.

The course, ArcGIS Desktop II: Tools and Functionality, included 24 hours of classroom instruction. The course was held from December 6-9, 2010, in Indianapolis, IN. Keri Brennan, an ESRI Authorized Instructor, taught the classes at the Schneider Corporation headquarters.

GIS, or geographic information systems, are hardware and software used for storage, retrieval, analysis, and mapping of geographic data. Steuben County's online GIS is available to the public and is used by many county departments and other agencies. It provides real-time access to a lot of information, allowing for quicker and more accurate processing.

Congratulations to Mrs. Conti for her satisfactory completion of the course!

Staff training like this improves the quality of services that the County can provide to residents and business.
