Twenty-two state surveying societies have now signed a Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) with NSPS through which all members categorized as
“Full/License” of the Society will be NSPS members. The following states are currently participating:
Alaska, Arizona, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts,
Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, New York, North Carolina, Oregon,
Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, and
Wisconsin.
If you are a resident member of one of these state
societies, and not a current NSPS member, upon receipt by NSPS of membership
dues from the state society for its members, you will receive a member packet
containing information about benefits, as well as a membership card and
certificate.
If you are a
current NSPS member and a resident member of one of the named state societies
you will receive a renewal card, and your NSPS dues will begin to run
concurrently with the dues renewal cycle for your state society.
Depending on the specifics of the MOU for the respective
states, there may be some exceptions for inclusion of non-resident
Full/Licensed members and other categories of state society membership.
If you are current NSPS member but not a member of a state
society which has signed the MOU, you may want to consider joining the state
society in your state of residence in order to take advantage of the significantly
reduced NSPS dues that result from the MOU.
If you are a member of a state society that has not signed a
MOU for joint membership with NSPS, you should encourage your state society to
join the program so that you can enjoy the benefits of both state and national
representation, and help to develop a stronger national voice.
