The GISCI Endorsing Employer Program highlights organizations that encourage GISP® certification, uphold the GISCI Code of Ethics, and recognize the role of certified professionals in supporting sound decision-making and public service. 

Participation in the program reflects an employer’s acknowledgement of GIS’s critical role in infrastructure planning, public safety, economic development, and community engagement, GISCI said.
