The newly established GeoMentor program was jointly announced by ESRI and the National Geographic Society on Monday, July 13, 2009, during the Plenary Session of ESRI’s 29th annual International User Conference in San Diego.
The program will enlist people who use geographic information to help educators and students better understand its numerous applications. These GeoMentors adopt a classroom or afterschool program, helping both the teacher and students comprehend the many ways geography and GIS can help us better understand the interrelatedness of objects and events in our world.
