Land Surveyors University
If you're still running behind on submitting your evidence for Level One of Land Surveyors University, Don't get left behind! Were now opening Level Three! There are amazing prizes in the upcoming levels. Show off your surveying skills and teach others globally, while representing your area and building reputation online locally!.

US Group Forums You may or may not be aware that there happens to be another surveying site which has set out to clone our state group forums for land surveyors. Without going too deep with this, I just ask you to please take 2 minutes and join your state group, bring it up at the next local meeting and pass
the link to your regional association's director asking them to link back to the group. We could have all of the US states under one roof if we work together!
