February 15th - Shane S. Turay, CET, CST, GISP Geomatics Operator – Basic Training for Field Operators We hear comments frequently, if not constantly on the lack of qualified people.

We will discuss what has worked for us and thoughts on how to put some fire in the belly of others when it comes to learning our profession. Participation is encouraged so please spread the message to your compatriots to join us. A rising tide lifts all boats and each of us, no matter our role, can be a rising tide for those around us.

Increases in efficiency and quality could be realized by mastering these skills. Participation is encouraged so please spread the message to your compatriots to join us. A rising tide lifts all boats and each of us, no matter our role, can be a rising tide for those around us.
