The Statwide Mapping Advisory Committee (SMAC) is comprised of 15 members representing the state, local and federal GIS community in North Carolina. The purpose of the SMAC is to work with data content standards, consolidate mapping requirements, and seek financial support for cooperative programs. It advises the GICC on issues, problems and opportunities related to base and image mapping programs and information. The state (SGUC) and local (LGC) committees appoint members to the SMAC. The SMAC prepares an annual work plan that directs the work of the committee and documents it accomplishments.
