Hey Group,

Happy New Year. I wanted to get the word about a new class were offering: The 
GIS Essentials? Workshop.

include a tele-class (which can be taken from anywhere) and a live one day 
workshop (offered in various locations).

Atlanta, Chicago, Las Vegas

This basic one-day workshop is designed to teach essential GIS (Geographic 
Information System) skills as indicated by a survey of 500 GIS professionals, as 
well as input from several thousand GIS practitioners. Staff from government 
agencies, non-profits and universities will find the workshop particularly 
relevant. Gina Clemmer, author of the book The GIS 20: Essential Skills 
published by ESRI Press, will teach these workshops.

Audience: Anyone interested in learning the essentials of ArcGIS 10.

GIS Essentials? Workshop - February Tele-Classes

This is a series of tele-classes taught on Mondays and Wednesdays throughout

students to review if desired.

Materials for both classes include:

+ A copy of The GIS 20: Essential Skills by Gina Clemmer will be provided in 
class and used as the primary text. The price of the book is included with the 
price of the registration. The GIS 20 is a focused workbook that demonstrates 
how to perform the most frequently utilized twenty essential GIS skills. The 
skills were indicated by 500 GIS practitioners through a survey, as well as 
through questions, projects and suggestions from 15,000 GIS students over the 
past decade. This book can be treated as a weekly self-assignment or an 
as-needed reference making it useful for the professional practitioner, the 
teacher and student. Each chapter offers clear steps, written in plain language, 
that illustrate exactly how to complete the presented essential skill exercise. 
In addition, the book helps beginners and non-native English speakers cut
