WHEREAS, Surveyors play an essential role in ensuring the
success and efficiency of infrastructure and property development
across the Lone Star State, and these dedicated professionals are
being honored with the observance of National Surveyors Week from
March 16 to 22, 2025; and
WHEREAS, National Surveyors Week was established by the
National Society of Professional Surveyors to bring public
recognition to the sector and its role in shaping modern society;
during the annual event, thousands of professional surveyors across
the country and state take part in local activities designed to
introduce a new generation to the industry and showcase the use of
technology in their work; and
WHEREAS, Since the earliest days of its founding, our nation
has relied upon land surveyors to create accurate maps and define
property boundaries, paving the way for the establishment of roads,
buildings, and other vital elements of civilization; surveyors have
included prominent figures in our society, including Presidents
George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, and the efforts of the
first American surveyors helped shape our country's westward
expansion by enabling prospective settlers to achieve the dream of
land ownership; today, surveyors continue to apply their expertise
in such scientific specialties as geodesy, physics, and engineering
to projects that are crucial to the growth and development of our
cities and communities; and
WHEREAS, The men and women of the surveying profession are
making invaluable contributions through their dedication to the
highest standards of skill, competence, and integrity, and the
occasion of National Surveyors Week provides a welcome occasion to
celebrate their achievements; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the 89th Texas Legislature
hereby recognize March 16-22, 2025, as National Surveyors Week and
extend to all those associated with the industry sincere best
wishes for continued success.
