PLSO The Oregon Surveyor January/February 2023

11 Professional Land Surveyors of Oregon | www.plso.org 2023 Annual Conference they will be available through April. An easy way to see which ones were recorded is to login to Whova and go to the Agenda. Up top, where it says Filter By Tracks, make sure to only have the Recorded box checked. We are working on the content and presentation slides and we hope to have all provided content linked on the Whova platform or in the documents area. This year’s conference provided a selection of speakers who were streaming live, and in-person only. If you were not able to see a presentation in Salem, be sure to check out recorded sessions, and also note that we were able to add some previous content from the 2022 conference for presenter Rick Ellis, who unfortunately could not attend this year. The in-person event allowed us to hold the traditional Vendor Social on Wednesday night and the Scholarship Auction Dinner on Thursday evening. We regrouped the Young Surveyors Network with an in-person gathering of people led by chair Brenton Griffin. Many of the student members participating in the conference discussed offers of future employment opportunities in the industry with attendees. If you are looking for summer help or future employees from the surveying school students, it’s best to reach out as fast as you can and check in with all programs across the state. The online community boards will remain open for discussion for three months, so please check in on the app and ask those burning boundary questions or post interesting articles and photos with fellow attendees. I hope to continue to catch up with PLSO members online that I could not get to in person. The conference committee will meet to discuss the changes and ideas we can implement for next year, and we are always looking for fresh content suggested by members. All of us on the Conference Committee thank you again for making this year’s conference a great and memorable experience, and we look forward to building upon this in the future.  Agency director Jason Barbee chatting with a conference attendee at the OSBEELS booth.
