Description
It has been over sixty years since the TSA was formed and almost 35 years since the State of Texas added the word “Professional” to our license. What is a Professional? How do you know one? How do you act as a Professional?
This class will review some of the contributions on this subject from surveyors of the past half-century and these questions. Ethics and professionalism will be examined utilizing past TSA "Short Course" materials, specifically Robert Coltharps’ October 1969 presentation. Topics include duties to the Client, duties to the State, and duties to Colleagues, along with communication techniques and responsibilities.
