Mission Statement And Purpose

“GSLSA” MISSION STATEMENT & PURPOSE

In July of 1993, the founders of the ALLIANCE had a vision that they would join together and fight for the common good of the surveying profession, providing the “rank and file” surveyors with the vehicle for them to be heard and help to “plot” the direction of their profession. The officers and members will never lose that vision.
