Environmental and engineering geologists play a vital role in assessing geologic hazards, supporting infrastructure development, and ensuring environmental sustainability. Their expertise informs critical decisions in construction, water resources, and land management—where understanding subsurface conditions is essential for public safety and long-term resilience. Professional licensure establishes the standards for competency, ethics, and accountability in this field, reinforcing the importance of qualified geologists in engineering and environmental projects.

We are excited to announce that we just purchased a Square credit/debit card reader and hope to be able to start accepting electronic payments soon, potentially as early as our November Meeting! Electronic payments will be subject to Square's service fee, which we anticipate being $0.36-$0.75 for students and professionals, respectively. We are also planning to start accepting Venmo. We hope the addition of these payment options will be more convenient for our members. We will also continue to accept cash payments as normal.
