"You're not just getting your CE credits - you're investing in professional development that will actually make you a better surveyor." – Dan Provolt, PLS
40 Years of Survey Investigation in Your Earbuds
As I assembled these narratives, I revisited my own past mistakes, near misses, small triumphs, and moments of clarity. But more importantly, I recognized how many of the challenges we face, boundary puzzles, legal conflicts, ethical dilemmas, and split-second field decisions, are universal across our profession.
You're not just buying CE credits. You're investing in professional development that will actually make you a better surveyor.
