EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE Marilyn Evers Executive Director director@fsms.org S urveying and Mapping firms know the value of FSMS. It is never more evident than in our ever expanding list of Sustaining Firms. Our 2012 list has far outnumbered last year and the number is still rising. That makes a strong statement about our Society – it is recognized for its value. So the initial question whether you are a firm owner, principal or employee - is your firm on board with this outstanding membership category? Looking back . . . . 1980 had been a successful year with Robert W. “Bob” Wigglesworth at the helm. Communication was improved, more active liaisons were established with related professions, the Land Surveying Principles book was published for allied professions, administrative policies were revised, an unprecedented growth of individual members occurred; revisions to the Constitution & By Laws completed and the final completion of Minimum Survey Standards. The following year (1981) the Membership Category for Sustaining Firms was created by the progressive FSPLS leadership who realized the importance of moving forward and possessed the vision of a lobbyist to provide expertise in the legislative arena. The prior year’s Legislative Session had been extremely active, experiencing 156 bills that directly or indirectly affected the profession. The previous year had also finally brought about the creation of a separate regulatory board for surveyors* – a major victory for the profession. It was evident that issues would continue to rise in Tallahassee and it was time to hire a professional legislative consultant. Those issues would ultimately benefit not only our individual members, but firms as well. This was an opportunity to involve them in the process upfront. The leadership felt confident that the role and involvement of firms was vital to the future health of not only the profession, but the Society. Leaders also knew the necessity of holding the $75 Full Member fee instead of over taxing individual members with an increase. Remember, it was 1981 and the average salary for a licensed surveyor was not impressive. To put it in perspective, a beach view room for the Annual Conference at Marco Island Marriott was $45/night. So the final question is the same as the initial question - is your firm a major supporter of Florida Surveying and Mapping Society and is your firm name on our Sustaining Firms list on pages 7-9? If not, join our ever growing list of Sustaining Firms and take advantage of the benefits. The profession will always have legislative issues and you will always need the voice of the profession to represent you in Tallahassee and on the national level. Your employees will always need continuing education and you can send up to five non-member employees to any seminar at the member rate. And it gets even better – FSMS offers the most economical education fees of any Florida provider which is just one more way we are working for you. All education fees are returned to you in benefits and services. It’s a win-win for all at just $.69 per day.
