"I wanted the most entertaining conference yet." - Rena Butler
Last year, as Rena Butler was preparing to take office as MSS President, she set an ambitious goal. Rena wanted a conference that both fulfilled surveyors' continuing education requirements, but also created a fun way to network with other surveyors. From a team building charity event to a casino night, the conference included guests from across Maryland as well as individuals from West Virginia to Puerto Rico.

Member Spotlight on Newly Licensed Surveyor Lynne Kelly
" It was a great honor to become a licensed surveyor, because it took a tremendous amount of hard work. I feel that the license encourages surveyors to not only deepen their commitment to education, but to support the surveying profession by teaching others. I'm glad to be a part of such a unique group of people and I hope to get to know more of you and more about serving as I continue to grow."  Learn more.
