USGIF welcomes Amazon Web Services to its growing list of organizational members.

Herndon, Virginia —The United States Geospatial Intelligence Foundation (USGIF) is pleased to welcome Amazon Web Services (AWS) as its newest Strategic-Level Member.  AWS is the latest company to join the growing list of USGIF organizational members and is its 27th Strategic-Level Member.

AWS is a leading cloud platform, offering over 200 fully featured services from data centers globally.

AWS offers the most comprehensive and broadly adopted platform of services and features, which allow their customers to be more agile while reducing computing costs.

USGIF organizational membership enables organizations to play an integral role in the advancement of the geospatial intelligence (GEOINT) tradecraft through professional development and unparalleled interaction with community leaders, decision-makers, as well as the GEOINTers of today and tomorrow. USGIF Strategic-Level membership is the highest and most inclusive level of organizational membership. Benefits include complimentary GEOINT Symposium registrations, exclusive access to USGIF events, and the ability to participate in forums exclusive to USGIF Strategic-Level Members.

“Having AWS join the Foundation as a Strategic-Level Member is truly a big deal for us,” stated Ronda Schrenk, USGIF chief executive officer. “They bring a unique perspective and wealth of knowledge to our community and organization. We look forward to an engaging and symbiotic relationship.”
