We are IGIC

The Indiana Geographic Information Council (IGIC) is a nonprofit organization leading the effective application of geographic information in Indiana.


Participants at IGIC's 2023 Geospatial Coordinators Forum.

Our membership includes individuals from all levels of government, private industry, educational institutions and other nonprofit groups. Through our membership and elected board of directors, we strive to make a real difference in Indiana GIS – both for those who use it and those who benefit from it.

The mission of the Indiana Geographic Information Council (IGIC) is to work through its membership to advance and improve the practice of GIS across Indiana to benefit Hoosiers throughout the state. This will be accomplished by:

  • Supporting the Indiana Geographic Information Office as requested by the Indiana Geographic Information Officer (GIO) wherever the goals of IGIC and the GIO are aligned and as required by state statute.
  • Providing opportunities of education and networking to the membership of IGIC and others as determined by the board of directors.
  • Hosting an annual GIS conference to support the mission of IGIC and provide value to its members and to the Indiana GIS community.
  • Representing the interests of the Indiana GIS community to organizations within and outside of Indiana.

Indiana leads the nation in geospatial maturity

Indiana was the only state to earn an “A” for statewide GIS coordination by the National States Geographic Information Council (NSGIC). While this should come as no surprise to the Indiana GIS community, our coordination success underscores the vital role we all have as members of the statewide GIS community!
