National Surveyors Week

March 15-21, 2009

The purpose of Surveyors Week is to bring visibility to the profession. During Surveyors Week, sur-
veyors in industry, government, private practice and education promote public recognition of the
profession. Governmental agencies, technical professional organizations and citizens groups are
encouraged to join the celebration.
Surveyors Week is a perfect opportunity to introduce elementary, junior high and senior high school
students to the surveying profession. Surveyors in many areas stage demonstrations of new survey-
ing technologies or displays of ancient and modern surveying instruments to which students and the
public are invited. The National Society of Professional Surveyor’s Trig-Star program-through which a
surveyor works with local high schools to promote a math competition in trigonometry-is a ready-
made activity that can be used in conjunction with Surveyors Week. Kits can be ordered from the
NSPS Coordinator through the NSPS office.
