PLSO The Oregon Surveyor March/April 2023

3 Professional Land Surveyors of Oregon | www.plso.org From the PLSO Chair We have serious problems to solve. We need people, young and experienced, to solve them. We need fresh ideas, and no idea is a bad idea. We will be holding a discussion on updating the PLSO Strategic Plan at our next Board of Directors meeting. unfamiliar people talking about stuff we didn’t understand. My experience taught me that if you listen to what they are talking about, I’m sure you will be experiencing it personally at the office shortly. That is how you can learn and prevent the hardships they encountered. After a few conversations with these people, they will get to know you and you will become more comfortable and at ease in your surroundings. We are lucky in PLSO in that we have the means to meet and become acquainted with so many fellow surveyors. We are truly never alone. We have the means to reach out to them for help when needed. That is what PLSO is all about. We have serious problems to solve. We need people, young and experienced, to solve them. We need fresh ideas, and no idea is a bad idea. We will be holding a discussion on updating the PLSO Strategic Plan at our next Board of Directors meeting. This plan is a road map for what PLSO wishes to accomplish in the near future. This is also where your ideas and wishes on what you want PLSO to be begin. So, I’m asking that you act on two items. One, invite and mentor new members to PLSO and help them feel welcomed. Two, let your chapter officers know your ideas (Be reasonable! Unfortunately, we can’t get Starbucks to give us free coffee), and be prepared to help bring them to life.  Ronnie Jacko ronnie@llmpubs.com | 503-445-2234
