Who is a Professional Land Surveyor?
A Professional Land Surveyor (PLS) is uniquely qualified by education and experience. He or she has become registered by passing a series of Massachusetts Land Surveyors examinations. Only a Professional Land Surveyor duly registered by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (see 250 CMR) is legally permitted to perform land surveys in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Be sure to look for a Professional Land Surveyor (PLS) who is licensed in the state where your property is located.
While MALSCE cannot specifically recommend a firm to someone requesting a particular service, the people listed below are members of the Massachusetts Association of Land Surveyors and Civil Engineers (MALSCE) and have chosen to join the Proprietors' Council. MALSCE Members have agreed to uphold the Bylaws, abide by the Code of Ethics, and meet the State requirements for practicing land surveying or engineering.

What is the Proprietors' Council and How Can I Join?
MALSCE’s Proprietors Council is a group of MALSCE members that meet three to four times a year to discuss issues related to their businesses. Proprietors Council members are also listed on the MALSCE web site.
Any MALSCE member, representing a firm, can be active and participate in the Proprietors Council. There are no membership applications, but Proprietors Council members must have paid their current year’s regular MALSCE dues, as Registered, Associate or Out of State Members, in addition to paying for Proprietors Council Membership. The FY2011 Proprietors Council Dues are $75.00 per individual member – this entitles you to membership in the Council through June 30, 2011. This is a special dues rate just for FY2011, set by the MALSCE Board of Directors.
The meetings are usually held during lunch on a weekday. The meetings tend to last until 1:30 PM. The Proprietors Council Chair picks the date and topic for each meeting based on input from the members.
The value of our meetings is in both the presentations and the peer discussions that follow. We can't effectively practice our profession in a vacuum. We need to keep in touch with what is happening with the rest of the world, our state, our region, our area of practice.
The person who serves as the Representative for the firm must be a MALSCE member in good standing.
