MALSCE-NSPS 100% Membership Program

MALSCE-NSPS 100% Membership Program

MALSCE participates in the “100% Membership Program” offered by the National Society of Professional Surveyors (NSPS). Through this program, eligible MALSCE members can also join NSPS for a nominal fee and receive the benefits of belonging to both organizations for one annual dues payment. For example, an eligible registered member of MALSCE will also be a member NSPS for an annual fiscal year 2023 dues payment of $295. This dues payment is comprised of $245 in MALSCE and chapter dues and a $50 NSPS dues payment. The latter represents a $175-dollar savings off the annual fee for belonging to NSPS separately, which is $225.

The 100% NSPS Membership Program automatically applies to all registered, in-state MALSCE members and is available to associate, life and student members on a voluntary basis.
