meetings and a successful conference.

The February meeting was a chapter update. In this meeting photogrammetry
we discussed chapter committees and talked about upcoming
events. Eric Sage and Justin Moore volunteered to organize the golf and survey solutions
tournament coming up in July. Lance Smith volunteered to organize
a chapter barbeque later in the summer. I’d like to thank these
gentlemen for taking the lead on these events. I am looking forward
to attending. I’m sure we will all have a great time.
