 Jeffery N. Lucas
We are excited to have Jeffery N. Lucas join us this year as an instructor in Section A on Thursday and Friday. Jeff started his career as a land surveyor and is licensed in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, and Tennessee. He graduated from law school later in his career. His practice is focused on land boundary issues and real property law, including adverse possession, boundary disputes, professional liability, real property, and zoning and land use issues. As a result of his experience and background, he has developed a library of over 40 titles and conducts continuing education seminars for land surveyors, engineers, and attorneys nationwide. In addition, he has authored over 100 articles on surveying, boundary, and legal issues that have been published in state and national professional journals.

NCBELS RECOMMENDATION
Have you considered serving on the North Carolina Board of Examiners for Engineers and Surveyors (NCBELS)? The North Carolina Board of Examiners for Engineers and Surveyors is organized under the provisions of The North Carolina Engineering and Land Surveying Act, Chapter 89C, of the North Carolina General Statutes (G.S. 89C). The Board consists of four Professional Engineers, three Professional Land Surveyors, and two Public Members, appointed by the Governor of the State of North Carolina. Members of the Board serve for staggered five-year terms, and no member may be appointed more than two full terms. The Board is responsible for the administration and regulation of the professions of engineering and land surveying in North Carolina. The Board reviews applications, administers examinations, licenses qualified applicants, and regulates the professional practice of the licensees throughout the state. The Board investigates alleged violations of provisions of the licensure law.
To be eligible to serve, surveyor candidates must meet the following criteria according to § 89C-5. “Each land surveyor member of the Board shall be a resident of North Carolina and shall be a licensed professional land surveyor engaged in the lawful practice of land surveying in North Carolina for at least six years.”
In November, NCSS will be recommending a surveyor from our organization to Governor Cooper to fill a position that will be open at the end of the year. All interested individuals should contact the Executive Director. (email: sbarron@ncsurveyors.com or 919-556-9848)
