Curricular Responsibilities
Lead Society for Geomatics and Surveying
The American Congress on Surveying and Mapping (ACSM) was founded in June 1941 and is incorporated as a non-profit educational organization whose goal is to advance the sciences of surveying and mapping and related fields, in furtherance of the welfare of those who use and make maps.
ACSM also encourages the development of educational programs and supports publications that represent the professional and technical interests of surveying and mapping.
The society is comprised of three independently incorporated Member Organizations which include more than 5000 surveyors, cartographers, geodesist, and other spatial data information related professionals from private industry, government, and academia throughout the world. Each Member Organization serves the specific interests of their respective members, while working collectively to achieve the overall goals of ACSM.
Today, the technology explosion has provided new methods of attaining and using spatial data. Geographic information systems (GIS), Land information systems (LIS), and the Global Positioning System (GPS) have revolutionized the spatial relationships of both actual objects and planned concepts. ACSM continually seeks to respond to the challenges presented by these new technologies.
