Greetings TSPS Chapter 11- Please join us at Blanco BBQ for our third-Thursday general meeting next week (April 16th). We will provide board updates, ask input, and sharpen our Surveyor’s Report skills courtesy of Dorothy Taylor, RPLS 6295.

Some key takeaways from Dorothy’s presentation:
- Writing a Surveyors Report is not difficult. The harder part is know when to write a Surveyors Report.
- A Surveyor’s Report can explain situations to save you from dreaded explanatory phone calls while you’re fishing on the bay.
-Trying to beat budgets? A Surveyor’s Report can provide explanations to clients and save you from costly back and forth communication.
- If your reasoning and special situations only reside in your head, then you can never take a day off without the risk of leaving the people uninformed. If you save all that information in a Surveyor’s Report, then you can simply hand over the report and walk away.
