Hi everyone,

I received the following request from a local non-profit.  They are looking for free-lance contractors to do some GIS work.  If you know students or free-lance professionals who might be interested in this opportunity, please spread the word.  Thank you!

Best,

Yu Xiao

Hi Professor Xiao -

I have a separate request from Sightline that I'm curious if you can help with. They often have one-off/limited term GIS projects that they use free-lance contractors for. They're hoping to diversify their options - both just generally to have a deeper bench of options, but also to provide opportunities for BIPOC GIS professionals. I'm wondering if you could share this request with other GIS professors and reach out if you/they run across any particularly talented students and/or know of free-lance professionals that would be interested in contract opportunities with Sightline? The best point of contact for this would be Alan Durning - al...@sightline.org

Appreciate any leads you can share or even just simply spreading the word.

Thanks!
