Society Division
August 6, 2005

Governmental Affairs

Division: Society Affairs                                                           Division Officer: Mickey Nowell

Committee: Governmental Affairs                                        Comm. Chairman: Pat Smith

 

This committee has had no activity related to legislative affairs since the last board meeting.

 

Mark Hanna and I are investigating what TSPS can do for the subdivision platting issue in Cherokee County as brought before the board by Chapter 4.  To date we have met with the legal counsel for the Texas Association of Counties as the first step in pursuing a non-controversial solution to the problem. Texas Association of Counties will be looking into the matter from their perspective and Mark and I will be discussing the issue with the legislators from that area.  I view this as the first steps prior to actually meeting with the Cherokee County Attorney.

 

Respectfully Submitted

Patrick A. Smith, RPLS

Chapter Activities

DIVISION:   Society Affairs             DIV #: 1     DIVISION OFFICER:  Mickey Nowell
COMMITTEE: Chapter Activities                 CHAIRMAN REPORTING: Curtis Strong

Unfortunately, I was unable to attend neither the last Chapter Presidents Forum nor the board meeting.  I was told that the meeting went well.  We will remain focused on our Strategic Planning directives.  Some of the chapters appear to be very busy working on these goals and are coming up with good ideas.  I applaud those chapters and ask that they keep up the good work. 

Hopefully all of the Chapter Presidents will attend the Strategic Planning session.  This is a very important session for each Chapter President, as it sets our course for the upcoming year.

As always, I encourage all Chapter Presidents to bring a new member or guest to the Presidents Forum.  It is especially important to bring your vice-president and get them involved before their term begins.

I thank the Chapter Presidents for their hard work throughout the year.  As always, I welcome any thoughts or ideas that I may incorporate to help the chapters to become stronger and more active.

Sincerely,

Curtis Strong
