Marie T. Welch, LS
and who should be recommended for a committee of NYSAPLS? As I have said in the
NYSAPLS Headquarters past, now is the perfect time to get involved and share your ideas as to which direction
146 Washington Avenue to take NYSAPLS. Some of our current committees need your help. The committees

who we are as Land Surveyors. We know there are individuals who want to get involved
Editor-in-Chief &
Managing Director in the committees at NYSAPLS and I would like those individuals to choose a committee
Amber Carpenter that piques their interest and fits into their schedule. If you are thinking that you may
