Ronald Green was responsible for design, integration, management and coordination of GIS activity among agencies in Suffolk County. He has implemented some of the larger enterprise GIS projects within the country, and is a frequently invited speaker to conferences and workshops focused on geographic information system technology. A Suffolk County aerial photography project in the spring of 1996 resulted in a digital image map base covering the entire land area of Suffolk County.

His passion for G.I.S. preceded the discovery of the MAP as a Means of Aerial Perspective.^© Recognizing that G.I.S. offered users a means of visual problem solving he began to see it as a mind-mapping experience in abstract thinking and emotional skills development. An ever expanding awareness of the education and training value of G.I.S., his years as classroom teacher, coupled with the generous sharing of time by this G.I.S. community, has enabled him to develop Mapzzles™ and C Squares,^®  the manipulative-map teaching tools of tomorrow.  http://www.mapzzles.com
