Our Vision
U.S. GEO focuses on things that have proven to work: networking and relationships among and between like-minded, high-ranking firm executives; advocacy, public policy, and a presence in Washington, DC and across the nation to grow the geospatial market; act as a safeguard against the unfair government and university competition, and promote as well as defend quality as the foundation of professional services procurement.
