Thank you very much to Beth & Hal Peters for another year as our amazing photographers. This dynamic duo helps us to preserve our conference memories by capturing these unique moments each year.
The Florida Surveyor is the official publication of the Florida Surveying and Mapping Society, also known as FSMS. It is published monthly for the purpose of communicating with the professional surveying community and related professions who are members of FSMS. Our award winning publication informs members eleven months out of the year about national, state, and district events and accomplishments, as well as articles relevant to the surveying profession. In addition, continuing educational courses are also available.
PRESIDENT’S Message August 2025
Members, First, I would like to extend my sincere thanks to Rick Price for his leadership over the past year. He is truly a gentleman and a scholar, and he leaves big shoes to fill.
I also want to thank you—the membership—for electing me as your president. It is a great honor, and I look forward to serving you in the coming year. This year’s conference was one for the books! We broke our attendance record with approximately 600 participants. Several of our courses reached full capacity, and I received many positive comments about their quality. Our vendors also expressed great feedback; with 55 booths, many shared that this year’s exhibition hall was one of the best-planned yet.
President
Robert Johnson (772) 370-0558 president.fsms@gmail.com
A special thank you and congratulations to the Annual Meeting Committee, led by Allen Nobles, along with committee members Lou Campanile, Jr., Shane Christy, Howard Ehmke, Rick Pryce, Earl Soeder, Don Stouten, and Collier-Lee chapter. Your hard work and dedication made this event a tremendous success.
We're looking forward to next year's conference! Stay tuned—we are already discussing new course offerings that promise to be outstanding. I am proud to report that our society is in a strong position. Membership is up, and conversations with several chapter presidents indicate that participation is increasing as well. My hope is that we continue this positive trend and grow even stronger in the year ahead. On Tuesday, August 26, I will attend the Florida Geomatics Student Association
