Forum to Strengthen the Surveying Profession's Future

NGS was one of 18 surveying-related organizations invited to participate in a forum to develop strategies to address future challenges to the surveying profession. The Future of Surveying Forum, sponsored by the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying on January 22, assembled representatives of surveying-related organizations to identify ways to improve the profession's image and increase public awareness. Technology changes and varying definitions of the practice of surveying were discussed in the forum, which will lead to recommendations on how organizations can increase the number of professional surveyors and maintain the future relevance of the surveying profession.
