VISION: Global development and application of imaging and geospatial information improves decision-making, sustains communities, and enhances quality of life. MISSION: To promote and advocate imaging and geospatial science for informed, scientifically valid, and technologically sound observations of Earth conditions and trends that lead to improved and effective decision-making.

Adoption and practice of the scientific method advances imaging and geospatial science and technology. Development and dissemination of guidelines and standards facilitates accessible and reliable use of imaging and geospatial information. Development of new imaging sensors and platforms improves applications by practitioners. Expansion of a diverse community of geospatially literate students and professionals sustains our community. Adherence to ethical standards strengthens student learning and professional practice. Advocacy of relevant imaging and geospatially-relevant policies promotes sustainable development and use of Earth resources.
