NSPS Day on the Hill

Each year NSPS engages in “citizen lobbying” on behalf of the surveying profession.  The society’s efforts help raise the profile of the surveying profession in Congress, as well as educate Congressmen and Senators on legislation that will improve the quality of life of all Americans and serve the public health, safety, and welfare. Past NSPS efforts have proven to be very effective. The enactment of the Digital Coast Act, the National Landslide Preparedness Act, a provision in the Senate’s highway bill, and other legislation supported and impacted by NSPS provide evidence of the success of the society’s efforts. 

Advocating for these three relevant issues crucial to the profession on Tuesday, April 23 during the NSPS Day on the Hill is a critical step each NSPS member is encouraged to take to make sure the surveying profession’s priorities and voice are heard loud and clear by Members of Congress, Senators, and their highly important staff. Most Hill meetings include these vital and knowledgeable staffers who advise their offices and Congressional hierarchy following these key meetings with constituents and stakeholders. Congress is currently scheduled to be in recess that week of April 23rd.
