NOTIFICATION OF ETHICS PROGRAM FOR ALL NSCSS REGISTERED PROFESSIONALS and NSCSS MEMBERS PLANNING TO BECOME REGISTERED (RPSS)
As part of the Technical Program / Sessions at the upcoming SSSA Annual Meeting in New Orleans, Louisiana, the NSCSS will be presenting an all day Business Symposium entitled "National Society of Consulting Soil Scientists Career Opportunities" (listed in the Official Program as Session 178, 11/6/07, Tue. 9:25 am–5:30 pm @ Hilton Riverside, Jefferson Ballroom, Third Floor, meeting area)
Within that program and presentation, the NSCSS Ethics Seminar will be conducted at 3:00 pm to 5:30 pm. As a reminder, the qualifications for the RPSS is that one be a consulting Soil Scientist; obtain 3 peer letters of recommendation; have the requisite number of years of work experience; and attend a NSCSS Board of Examiners endorsed Professional Ethics Seminar. In order for one to obtain or maintain RPSS status, attending a NSCSS Endorsed Ethics Seminar is required at least once every 3 years.
While the SSSA Annual Meeting is an event not to be missed - especially one held in New Orleans! - this is a great opportunity for existing RPSS or those wanting to obtain RPSS status, to fulfill the Ethics Seminar requirement at an alternative location than the NSCSS Annual Meeting.
