Our WFPS meeting took place in Salt Lake City on June 10. It marked the first time in ten years that WFPS has returned to our state since the memorable 2013 joint conference with Utah Council of Land Surveyors (UCLS) and National Society of Professional Surveyors (NSPS), which also involved a portion of NSPS and their student competition held at the South Towne Expo Center. Personally, I am delighted to have WFPS in my home state, and I have extended open invitations to the UCLS board members, encouraging them to attend meetings. It's an opportunity to connect and engage with some of the most brilliant and professional surveyors I have ever had the privilege of being around. This group of surveyors is dedicated to driving the profession forward, raising its standards, and nurturing the next generation of surveyors, who are becoming increasingly scarce. Now, let's delve into WFPS's mission statement, which underpins our commitment to advancing the surveying profession. WFPS and its directors passionately adhere to our previously established mission statement: “The Western Federation of Professional Surveyors is a conduit for interstate communication and provides resources to its member associations. WFPS advances the profession of surveying by fostering common goals and relationships within the western states, promoting public awareness of the profession, supporting education, and providing a regional voice.” Western Federation of Professional Surveyors REPORT BY MICHAEL NADEAU, WFPS DIRECTOR, PLS/CFEDS UCLS Foresights 26
