Land Surveying
Today, the ISPLS is active in the surveying community of Idaho. Our quarterly publication keeps members apprised of activities and issues of interest to the profession. The annual conferences that we plan, organize and execute provide speakers and coursework that offers license holders the opportunity to gain all of their necessary Professional Development Hours in one place, as well as connecting with others in the profession. We host governors for the regional organization Western Federation of Land Surveyors, and the national organization National Society of Professional Surveyors to represent the state and to report back on larger issues. We are active in the legislature, working to pass bills that affect our profession.

Our membership continues to grow and become involved in the society, with members working with students and teachers all over the state on Trigstar and in any capacity that they feel they can contribute. Members are encouraged to be active at the Chapter level and to experience their potential in leadership roles by running for office at the state level. We are a strong community, committed to the ideals of our founders and to the honorable profession of land surveying. |
