1986 C.LS.A. CONFERENCE
(Continued from page 17)
and aiiigence are much appreciated.
Senator Greene reported on the activities
of the legislature and the
success of our organization. If there
is one effort for C.L.S.A. to undertake,
it is to be persistent and consistent
in monitoring legislation affecting
the profession. Each and
every one of us must take the time
to become involved with the issues
and legislation affecting the Land
Surveyor. Only in this fashion can
we protect our rights as estabhshed
by sound, proper acts of our
legislatures.
Appropriately, following Senator
Greene, Dennis Flatt with Winner/Wagner
& Associates, Inc.,
presented an update on the legislative
activities of C.L.S.A. Mr. Flatt,
as our legislative advocate, is responsible
for monitoring C.L.S.A.
sponsored bills as well as those affecting
the profession. Winner/
Wagner has done a splendid job in
this regard. Once again, this aspect
of our occupation should not be
treated Ughtly.
The final session of the conference
featured Larry L. Reeves, CLU,
CHFC. Mr. Reeves' 20 years experience
in assisting privately held
businesses on a variety of financial
subjects provided a sound platform
from which to base his presentation.
Mr. Reeves is also the vice president
of the financial services division of
Gregg-Miller & Assoc, Inc.
The conference activities came to
a conclusion with the closing
remarks by President Richard P.
Siegmund, LS. As host, Mr. Siegmund's
hospitality and involvement
added to the success of the
conference. The conference committee
also made great contributions to
the program's success. Their efforts
are acknowledged and greatly appreciated.
Please remember their
unselfish contributions the next
time you are asked to give of your
time and professional abiHties. As
the preamble to our constitution
states:
"Recognizing that the true merit
of a profession is determined by the
value of its services to society, the
California Land Surveyors Association
does hereby dedicate itself to
the promotion and protection of the
profession of land surveying as a
social and economic influence vital
to the welfare of society, community,
and state".
