General information

The first conference was held in November 1986. The growth and expansion that KAM has undergone since then can gauge the success of the one-day conference. At the 8th Annual Conference in 1993, the membership approved the 3rd Edition of the constitution that broadened the scope of KAM. The organization became more broadly based with a large variety of land information specialists joining in. The membership is currently over 200 and includes professionals from the federal, state and local government, the private sector and academic institutions.

In 1996, Secretary of State Ron Thornburgh, officially certified the KAM compass design logo.
