February 2021

Welcome February!!

The year is going fast!!!  COVID vaccines are slowly being distributed and spring is on it’s way. We have a bright future!

FSMS had our first Board Meeting January 29, 2020, and it was un-eventful.  We met via Zoom, and did what needed to be done.  FSMS finished 2020 in good financial shape, and membership renewals are coming in.  If you haven’t renewed your membership, please do it now. 

I have also participated in a few virtual Chapter meetings via Zoom, and am always encouraged by the camaraderie of the Chapter members.  I encourage ALL of you to participate in your local chapter.

Our 66th Annual FSMS Conference is ON SCHEDULE, so please plan to attend July 28-31, and join your fellow professionals and technicians at the Marriott Resort Sawgrass, in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida.  We are moving “full speed ahead” with conference planning, organizing activities, and scheduling classes.

The end of February is the last day of our Professional Surveyor & Mapper biennium, so be sure to renew your license before the end of the month.  If you are short on Continuing Education hours, FSMS has many good classes available remotely – check out FSMS.org.

Through all the turmoil going on in the world, every Surveyor that I talk to is VERY BUSY, so keep up the good work, please support YOUR Profession, and Society!!
