Since its inception, GeoMarvel has embraced and welcomed team members of different ethnic backgrounds, walks of life, and from very diverse industries and fields. We value the life & professional experiences that individuals bring to the table that help to drive creative solutions, intentional collaboration, and deliver exceptional service to our diverse client base. GeoMarvel is passionate about expanding our team with insatiably curious, competitive, and committed professionals. As such, we believe that raising awareness about the value & importance of geospatial technology to people groups and in places that might not otherwise be aware of it will help to diversify our industry and in turn, pave the way for success and opportunity for many talented people to take our industry to new heights.
Because of this, GeoMarvel was proud to partner with EDGE (Ethnically Diverse Geospatial Engagement) as a Platinum Plus sponsor in July 2023. Since then, we have sponsored the following EDGE events:
In partnership with Keith A. Searles, Founder of EDGE & CEO of Urban GIS, GeoMarvel is committed to sharing their mission & resources (job opportunities, webinars, events, and more) with other companies in the geospatial community, encouraging other GIS companies & enthusiasts to participate, and personally providing an educational scholarship to young people looking to enter into this rich industry.
“The primary purpose of EDGE is to build a network of people involved with geospatial enterprises from all walks of life who care about making a difference by assisting individuals of companies founded by people from disenfranchised ethnic groups. The collective goal is for aspiring applicants and opportunity seekers to become more aware and prepared to take advantage of jobs, internships, and projects within the geospatial industry. The network is open to all, no matter your ethnic background or socio-economic standing. The only criteria to join is possessing a united goal and a sincere desire to contribute and be a part of changing the narrative.”
-Keith A. Searles, Founder of EDGE & CEO of Urban GIS
