DCALS 10th Anniversary Dinner!
Pictures for Birthday bash are now posted Click Here
DCALS had a great turn out for May 13, 2011 seminar!!!
DCALS offered knowledgeable instructors for your continuing education. Surveying in District of Columbia is different than surveying in original 13 States, FEMA changes with flood zone changes, monitoring with adjacent buildings and roads has to be understood. These courses were for your benefit. Thanks to DCALS Board of Directors, Intsructors and the people who understood gaining more knowledge in their course of study was needed.
