The Young Surveyors are defined by surveyors aged 35 years or under, surveying students, or those surveyors within ten years of graduating with a Bachelor’s or Master’s Degree. Whether you are a field crew chief, CAD technician, LSIT, or PLS- all are welcome; however, the focus is to provide support for those individuals who meet the definition. The main focus of the group so far has been on networking and getting to know more people. Being involved will help expand our personal and professional networks and entice people to get involved in the movement, allowing room for success. Please reach out to us via email or through our social media accounts on Facebook and Instagram for more detail to join our next statewide meeting.

How did the group get started?

The NSPSYoungSurveyorsNetwork is modeled after the International Federation of Surveyors(FIG) YoungSurveyors Network. Our aim is to establish a national network of Young Surveyors within NSPS and its affiliate organizations.The FIGYoungSurveyorsNetwork was started by a working group created in 2006 at the Munich FIG Congress. The reason that this working group was started in the first place was to bring more young surveyors into the network in FIG and because of the age structure within the surveying community. In 2009, the working group was upgraded to aYoung Surveyors Network and has been building ever since. A main focus of the group has been on networking and getting to know more people. This helps to expand our personal network, professional network and continues to entice people to be involved in the movement as we believe this is a strong motivator for many.
