The National Society of Professional Surveyors, Inc. - NSPS - www.nspsmo.org
Individual members join at least one of the Member Organizations when they sign up. The percentages noted above add up to more than 100% because many members have elected to join more than one member organization. Each Member Organization has its own board of directors and addresses areas of particular interest to its constituents, but all four organizations function within the structure of ACSM, and embrace the objectives of the society as a whole. In addition to the Member Organizations, ACSM also includes a number of geographically-oriented Sections. The individual Sections, in turn, make up the ACSM Council of Sections. The Council of Sections elects a non-voting delegate who represents its interests in the ACSM Congress.
The Sections provide forums for the discussion of regional issues affecting the industry in general and ACSM members in particular. Sections often work with student chapters of ACSM at universities and colleges to provide scholarships and gifts.
Members of all of the Member Organizations, regardless of their profession or discipline, are eligible to join a Section. Please check with an officer or contact person of the Section nearest you for further information.
Each of the 50 state surveying societies, as well as the one in Puerto Rico, has an affiliation with ACSM and NSPS, and provides a representative to the NSPS Board of Governors. NSPS also has 10 regionally elected Area Directors who sit on its on Board of Directors with the officers and the Chair of the Board of Governors.
