Summary: As the GEOINT community continues to grow, it is important to increase the involvement of the youth as they will become the future leaders of our industry, government and academic representative groups. As such, in 2009, the USGIF Young Professionals Group (YPG) was formed to unite junior GEOINT professionals within the Defense and Intelligence communities. This group offers events and programs that parallel the Foundation’s mission of advancing the geospatial intelligence tradecraft by utilizing the unique dynamics of our young professional membership based off of their needs and wants from this group. Today, we are speaking with one professionals who has played a pivotal role in the YPG, Ms. Julie Baer who is a Government Affairs Associate, GeoEye.
