In 2013, 22 million people were displaced due to natural disaster events (IDMC,
2014). These disasters have a tremendous impact on the lives of the poorest of the
poor. Geospatial data from national and international sources greatly expands relief
capabilities and decreases the cost of managing risks at different scales and stages
related to a disaster.

How do users of current and future technolo-
gies choose providers? How do they know that
the product or service they are receiving will
have a reasonable expectation for correctness
and completeness? Licensure and certification
have provided traditional paths for demonstrat-
ing knowledge and technical proficiency.

The strength of the Society is based on its members and
the Society will continue to be the primary American
organization for imaging and geospatial information with
a new membership model and governance structure. With
these measures fully implemented we anticipate a bright,
resilient and sustainable future.
ASPRS is undergoing a rebirth, which includes improving
its member value proposition and simplifying its governance structure.
The ASPRS Board of Directors unanimously approved the recommenda-
tions of the Streamlining Task Force. To implement the recommendations,
new bylaws are required. The Board unanimously approved a change in
member categories. As a second step, the Board also unanimously voted
to put completely new bylaws before the membership for comment.
