President’s Message

A Message from the 2026-2027 SCSPLS President

Floyd Sweatt, PLS

It is an honor to serve once again as President of the South Carolina Society of Professional Land Surveyors. I am grateful for the confidence of our members and committed to serving our Society, our profession, and the citizens of South Carolina.

Surveying is grounded in precision, integrity, accountability, and service—values that also define SCSPLS. As our profession evolves through technology, regulations, and workforce development, we have an opportunity to lead meaningful change while honoring the legacy of those who came before us.

Thank you to the South Carolina Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation for its continued partnership and support. We value our collaborative relationship and shared commitment to protecting the public and promoting professional excellence.

I am also grateful to our members, volunteers, Board, committee members, past presidents, and industry partners. Your dedication, leadership, and service are the foundation of this Society. A special thank-you goes to the South Carolina Young Surveyors, whose energy and involvement give us great confidence in the future of our profession.

In the year ahead, SCSPLS will focus on member engagement, education, strategic partnerships, and advocacy for the surveying profession. Together, we will continue building a stronger Society and a stronger profession for generations to come.
