The Arkansas GIS Users Forum is a group of geospatial professionals that work to develop, publish, distribute and use geospatial information to help you get where you are going, know where you have been, or know what’s happening around you. Our members come from a variety federal, state, county and local governments, as well as private and nonprofit organizations. Some of us work daily to ensure that emergency services find the fastest route when you call 911, others route pipelines and utilities to avoid damaging your property, we can even determine where to build a new fire station to provide the best service. Others use GIS less frequently or with less dire consequences, but we all use this very valuable tool to add a spatial component to our work. So the next time you go online to look up an address and search for a nearby business or even when you unfold an Arkansas Highway Map from the ArDOT... remember you've used products generated by our members.

Bill is a seasoned GIS professional with more than 34 years of experience. Upon completion of his MA in Geography at Michigan State University in 1984, he started his career at the New York State Department of Transportation, which at that time was the home of the statewide mapping program. His initial work involved converting the mapping program from photo-mechanical to state-of-the-art digital production, in preparation for color printing, publication, and sale of 1:24,000 scale quadrangles, county base maps, the NYS atlas, and other maps. In the late 1980’s and early 1990’s, he and his team also led one of the largest civilian GIS deployments of that era, serving more than 1,000 users in 11 regional DOT offices. Since then, he rose through the GIS ranks in New York State government, culminating in being named New York’s first Geographic Information Officer in 2013. He retired from state service in 2016 and spent two years leading GIS program development in Washington, DC for the Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC), which is responsible for nationwide broadband support programs on behalf of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). In April of 2018, Bill joined Applied Geographics, Inc where he is applying his carpe geo philosophy of building trust through collaboration, of effecting fundamental change through thoughtful investment, and of consistent attention to excellence, as AppGeo’s carpe geo evangelist.
Born and raised in Carroll County and, after graduating from high school, Judge Sam Barr joined the United States Air Force, where he served in Korea as a K-9 handler. When he returned home, he chose to stay in Carroll County to resume his love of farming, and start a family. People know Sam as a hard worker, a generous man, a Christian who shares his faith through his music, and a man who will “roll up his sleeves” and work alongside those who call our community home. Judge Barr has worked in various trades throughout his life, including welding, heavy equipment, saw milling, pipelining, and co-owner of Davis-Barr Chevrolet car dealership. In 2008, friends urged him to run for the County Judge position. He won the county seat with 54% of the votes, and has proudly continued to serve our County ever since. On December 20, 2012, Carroll County Judge Sam Barr was presented a Senate Citation by Senator Randy Laverty for his accomplishments during his tenure. Judge Barr’s service has not gone unnoticed by members of the Arkansas Senate, and the Senator wanted to express his appreciation to Judge Barr on his past and continuing efforts to provide outstanding service to Carroll County.
