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.
