NSPS Day on the Hill - Save the Date!

Make plans to attend the 2023 NSPS Day on the Hill scheduled for March 29, 2023. NSPS members will travel to Capitol Hill in Washington, DC to meet with members of the US House of Representatives and Senate, and their staffs to discuss (1) the need for improved broadband mapping and deployment of the related telecom infrastructure given the billions of Federal infrastructure dollars to be invested; (2) reauthorization and reform of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) in the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), including the NSPS-backed legislation known as the IMAGES Act; and (3) recognition of the importance of professional licensing in surveying and other design professions to protect public health, safety, and welfare and distinguishing these disciplines from other occupational licenses that have been the subject of de-licensing efforts. Members from all 50 states are invited and encouraged to participate in the citizen lobbying activity associated with the NSPS Business Meeting. Day on the Hill registration will open on January 30 and close on March 3. NSPS will make all appointments for meetings with lawmakers. A training webinar is set for Monday, March 20 at 2:00 pm EDT.
