  • June Meeting Reschedule

    Remembering Mike Miller

    To all MAST members –

    It is with a heavy heart that we acknowledge the passing of Mike Miller last week. Mike was one of the charter members of MAST. He wrote the by-laws and did research on how to get MAST officially recognized as a non-profit. He worked as a GIS analyst for several years, taught GIS for a while, and served as a mentor to many entering the field of GIS on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. More than all of this, he was a friend.

    His memorial service will be held this Friday. Given his impact, a number of MAST members, including a significant portion of the board, are expected to attend. For this reason, we will be rescheduling the June MAST meeting to Friday, June 18th at 12:00 PM. The location remains unchanged.

    Thank you
