CEO students had the opportunity to visit Spatial Connections, a cutting-edge GIS (Geographic Information Systems) company that helps businesses make smarter decisions using spatial data and mapping technology.

Founder & Owner Kelly McGee, along with team members Kayla Colwell and Ben Woolf, showed our students how GIS touches every industry — from emergency response and environmental protection to real estate, healthcare, retail, and more.

Some powerful takeaways:
📍 Maps are no longer just about directions — they help businesses navigate decisions.
📍 GIS answers critical questions like, “Where are my customers?” and “How do I reach them?”
📍 Technology changes fast…successful businesses must adapt and embrace new tools.
📍 Understanding data leads to better choices — where to build, invest, protect, or respond.

Our students were even able to get some hands-on GIS experience! We left thinking differently about location intelligence — and how valuable it is to see the story behind the data.

Thank you Kelly, Kayla, and Ben for opening our eyes to the power of GIS and welcoming CEO into your innovative workspace! 🌎✨
