----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Eugene (Gene) Trobia has been appointed as Arizona's state cartographer effective 1 April, according to an announcement made at yesterday's (7 March) Arizona Geographic Information Council meeting. Gene was director of Pima County's EGIS Department. EGIS' responsibilities have since been transferred to the county's Technical Services Division. For the last two years, Gene has been managing the county's Information Services Division. He has also been AGIC's president this year. AGIC (and its predecessor, AzMAC) have worked for a long time to get this position created and filled. It is gratifying to see the position finally filled.
