<p class="MsoNormal">I wanted to share a recording of the first “Women in GIS & Brandman University Speakers” talk, which is a series highlighting Women in GIS around the world. It is free and open to the public. The speaker was Sophia Garcia, GIS Analyst with
the <a href="https://doloreshuerta.org/">Dolores Huerta Foundation</a> and the session was moderated by Sheila Steinberg, PhD Professor of Social and Environmental Sciences at Brandman University.
