Wisconsin Society of Land Surveyors (WSLS)
This is an EXPIRED job listing. Do not apply for this position!
The Wisconsin Society of Land Surveyors is a professional association of over 1000 members, of which approximately 800 are Regular Members who are licensed to practice land surveying in Wisconsin. The other categories of membership are Fellow, Life, Associate, Affiliate, Student and Sustaining. Organized in 1952, its purposes are to promote and maintain the highest standards of professional ethics and practices, to promote professional uniformity, and to promote public faith and dependence in licensed surveyors and their work.
The Society is governed by a 17-person board of directors, consisting of one representative from each of nine chapters, Young Surveyors Network President, NSPS Director, two at-large directors, an immediate past-president, a president, a president-elect, and a treasurer. Its executive director attends all board meetings and keeps the minutes but is not a voting member of the board. The chapters represent nine loosely defined geographical areas of the state, with some overlap in the more heavily populated areas. There is no formal, legal connection between the Society and its chapters. They each have their own separate by-laws, and financial responsibilities, but all have an affiliation agreement with WSLS.
Frank Thousand, having served as the Society’s Executive Director for the past 12+ years, Frank has advised the board that it is time to retire. Frank is willing and able to continue in this capacity until June of 2022. While the Society board would be pleased to have a licensed surveyor handle this position, it recognizes that such an arrangement may be difficult to accomplish. The board is therefore also seeking indications of interest from professional association management firms.
We are asking for your response by March 1st, 2022.
