Each year, Esri recognizes about 50 Community MVPs from their total community user base. An Esri Community MVP is a GIS community member who makes a significant number of valued contributions to the Community, and who is recognized as an “influencer and trusted adviser”. Browning was recognized as a Top 3 MVP for receiving the most “Kudos” for his answers, with 1630 Kudos received.

For the past 5 years, as a Sanborn employee, Doug has worked as a GIS architect, designing and developing web and/or desktop-based geospatial tools for resources within BLM’s AIM Strategy program (Terrestrial, Lotic, Wetland and Riparian), PFC (Proper Functioning Condition), and MIM (Multiple Indicator Monitoring), which provide high quality information about ecosystem conditions and trends for decision making. In 2022, the AIM team (including Doug) were presented with a Special Achievement award in GIS (SAG) for their outstanding work developing a cloud-based data collection platform.
