A Conversation with Joe Romano about ACEC’s Coalition of Professional Surveyors

We sat down with Joe Romano with Langan at the 2022 Annual Convention to discuss the Coalition of Professional Surveyors, one of ACEC’s seven Coalition groups specifically designed to bring leaders in the built environment together by specialization to share information, best practices, and more.  Coalition membership is an essential aspect of ACEC membership.  More details on the COPS Coalition can be found below:
