Spring is here and the rain remains. The San Francisco section officers have spent the past few months working with the Sacramento section, Southern California section and the AEG Licensure Committee to stay informed of the activities related to the elimination of the Board for Geologists and Geophysicists (BGG) and the transfer of duties and responsibilities to the Board for Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors (BPELS). Activities directed toward representation within BPELS continue through legislation and we are hopeful to garner legislative interest in re-forming a geologists and geophysicists board.

We are extremely proud of the look to our new website and newsletter. Please consider sponsoring or advertising so we can continue to improve our section. We are looking forward to our upcoming section activities, including section meetings, our upcoming short course, and field trip.
