WFPS meets three times a year and this year’s summer meeting was held Saturday, June 25, 2022, at the Embassy Suites Waterfront in San Francisco, California. It began with a fun group trip to the Giant’s game against the Cincinnati Reds on Friday night.
This WFPS meeting included directors attending from 13 western states – including Meridian’s Michael Nadeau, Utah’s director. Tim Burch led the weekend with WFPS directors. Tim Burch is the new Executive Director of the National Society of Professional Surveyors (NSPS) and has recently been appointed to replace Curt Sumner. While Curt is now retired, he will be missed. Tim has great vision for the future of the surveying profession and WFPS is excited to work together in moving the profession forward and raise the bar for all surveyor’s – past, present and future. In Tim’s recent words “I’m looking for Evolution in the surveying profession and not a Revolution.” This is a plan all surveyors can get behind.
The Western Federation of Professional Surveyors (WFPS) is a regional non-profit organization composed of Land Surveyor associations representing the 13 western states, including Alaska and Hawaii. Formed in 1979, WFPS is dedicated to education, fostering common goals within the western states and providing a regional voice at the national level. Meridian’s survey division leader Michael Nadeau serves as Utah’s director to WFPS and WFPS’s immediate past-chairman.
