| Description | NCSS is partnering with the Yadkin Valley Chapter to present this seminar. Registration begins at 7:30 am, class begins at 8:00 am, and concludes at 4:30 pm. Lunch will be provided. Topics: (Morning Session)
Board Case Analysis: What Went Wrong This presentation will take an in depth look at several actual Board cases to see what went wrong resulting in a complaint being filed with the Board of Examiners. We will discuss the facts of the case and analyze what the licensee could or should have done differently that may have avoided the complaint. Topics covered during this presentation will be ethics, standards of practice, how to protect the public, and the best ways to avoid a complaint. *This will provide ethics and standards of practice PDHs for two years. Please keep in mind that if you carry over one hour of each, then you will need to exceed the annual requirement of 15 PDHs by 2 additional hours for the current year. Please see FAQ’s at the Board site. https://www.ncbels.org/continuing-education/individuals/#faqs Instructor: Richard M. (Mike) Benton, PLS - Mike Benton was born and raised in Goldsboro, NC.

On November 06, 2012, Mike was appointed by Governor Beverly Perdue to serve on the Board of Examiners for Engineers and Surveyors. Topic: (Afternoon Session)
This module will focus primarily on the legal aspects of surveying. We need your input! The way I like to do these seminars is for the attendants to send me “situations” that they have encountered in their practices that raise questions about the application of NC law, Board rules, ethical issues, and the like (not questions of how to deal with planning boards, registers of deeds, etc.). Please include as much detail as is necessary for the other attendants to understand the issue and come to a possible resolution. I will need your “situation” information about 4-6 weeks in advance of the seminar (October 13th deadline) so that I can do the research necessary to prepare the responses to the questions posed. This is not a prepared lecture but rather an interactive discussion of real-life surveying problems.
