March 8th - Surveying with Robert Martin, PS - Robert Martin helps surveyors in all facets of the surveying industry solving their most difficult problems from field to finish.

March 15th - David Doyle - GNSS-Derived Orthometric Heights

March 22nd - Shane S. Turay, CET, CST, GISP
Geomatics Operator – Field Codes, Linework and Stepped Offsets
Let’s dig into implementing the technical details of these useful skills. We will cover the basic concepts, practical application, share our process, get technical, and talk about the lessons learned. I believe there is great potential for evolution for those not fully using the modern systems of coding and stepped offsets. Increases in efficiency and quality could be realized by mastering these skills. Participation is encouraged so please spread the message to your compatriots to join us. A rising tide lifts all boats and each of us, no matter our role, can be a rising tide for those around us.
