Portland for a Change
I
read a quote recently from John F. Kennedy where
he said, “Change is the law of life. And those who
look only to the past or present are certain to miss
the future.” That’s a powerful statement from one
of the most influential presidents we’ve had. In my
view, I feel like what he is saying should ring true
within each one of us, that we should be continually
looking to the future for ways to better ourselves and
our profession, a profession which has taken care of
so many of us. I for one am guilty of relying on the
past and the present. I’ve been caught up in my day
to day activities or something I think I could have
done better, which has blinded me to what the future
holds and all of the opportunities that may be out
there. The really cool thing about the future is that it
is forgiving and it is always ahead of us, just like the
2017 PLSO Conference.
WOW!
It is that time again, the PLSO Conference with
the
Map Contest and our famous Survey Olympics. We are
looking forward to seeing more associate members involved in the Map Contest. Remember it’s not about
the PLS, it is about those who work with us and produce these wonderful products with our review and
instruction. Let them be rewarded for the hard work. Go Mappers!
We will have the Best Pace Reward, open to all ages.
Don’t forget the Height of a building or object award. This is also popular event with all ages.
Finally the Angle Award. Who can guess the correct angle and how close! Us older Surveyors should be good at
this! So Come all and enjoy the fun!
CMT, get your maps ready to submit!
Look forward to seeing you all there.
PLSO! PLSO! PLSO! GO! GO! GO!
