SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 242
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 State of Texas, 89th
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.
