Nearly four decades later, that&#039;s still exactly what we are.<\/h4>\n                                            <p>We&#8217;ve spent those years building real relationships across surveying, GIS, remote sensing, LiDAR, and photogrammetry &#8211; not as a generalist staffing agency that takes the occasional GIS role, but as specialists in one field. In 2023, GeoSearch became a woman-owned company under president Jessica Touchard, who has served as a committee chair with MAPPS for over five years. We&#8217;re also active members of the Geospatial Professional Network (GPN) and the United States Geospatial Intelligence Foundation (USGIF). That involvement isn&#8217;t marketing.
