We are committed to allowing freedom of expression for all of our members, and that includes maintaining a safe space for people with opposing views to express themselves. We get posts from all over the country and even the globe, so needless to say, people come with different viewpoints on lad surveying practices and processes. We see this diversity and variety as a real strength-- dialogue and debate are an integral part of the educational process, as well as an important tool in exploring different sides of complex issues.

August Letters NSPS ACSM Surveying
This year’s San Diego Esri/ACSM/
NSPS Survey Summit was informationally
excellent and well worth
the trip. The Survey Summit is
an annual meeting held at the San
Diego Convention Center the
weekend prior to the annual Esri
International Users Conference.
However, less than 250 land surveyors
attended this year’s Survey
Summit compared to 15,000
attendees at the Esri UC. This disparity
brings to mind the 60s Buffalo
Springfield song ‘For What
It’s Worth’ and its lyrics, “there’s
something going on here but it ain’t
exactly clear.” In the GIS world
there is definitely quite a lot going
on, and if these goings on are not
taken seriously by the land surveying
community, much of it will
remain unclear.
This is alarming
