Message From The President (March 2013)
Now that the convention is done I would like to say a BIG thank you to Janelle for all of her hard work and coordination that she does to make sure that the convention is a huge success. As I sit here today trying to write something inspiring and insightful and looking for opportunities to improve the surveying profession, I have to admit that I am struggling. Not struggling in the sense that there isn’t anything to say, but struggling in that there are so many things that need our attention and deserve our thoughtful discussion.
I have strong feelings on several issues that affect our profession and I often find myself fighting to hold back on expressing some of those opinions. However, I think that as President I have an obligation to express some of those thoughts and start some of that dialogue. I hope that you are willing to have those discussions with me and your fellow surveyors.
Where to begin is the true struggle. Do we focus on the general apathy towards corner recordation forms? Do we discuss how recording requirements could benefit our profession? What about Minimum Standards? What about a recording law? What will it take to get a GPS network like Iowa or Minnesota? How long has it been since we’ve talked about a State Surveyor’s Office?
