11 Issue 1 2018 / UCLS Foresights www.ucls.org 3. Gives licensed professional’s opportunities to upgrade their training on new issues and equipment in surveying. With these distinct purposes in mind, the task given to the education committee is to en- courage you to find individuals, no matter the skill level, to enroll in the program. It is very concerning to see how few students are pursu- ing careers as professional land surveyors, we need more. It’s basic economics, we need to have a sufficient supply of professional land sur- veyors to meet public demand. The U.C.L.S. Education and Member- ship Committees are currently developing an approach to promote and educate the land surveying profession at career fairs and con- ferences along with demonstrating survey technologies. We are convinced that if more students are aware of and understand what the land surveying profession is, they would join with us in embracing this profession. To fulfil its principal duties, the U.C.L.S. ed- ucation committee is seeking additional key members and welcomes volunteers interested in educating and promoting the LAND SURVEYING profession. The education committee meets ev- ery other month on the second Tuesday. Our next meeting is Tuesday August 14, 2018.
