Message from the President

As we usher in 2025, I am filled with a profound sense of pride, responsibility, and optimism as I take on the role of President of this distinguished Institute. The year 2024 has been a period of significant challenge and change. Yet, through these challenges, we have remained resolute, demonstrating the strength, expertise, and commitment that define the Surveying profession in Trinidad and Tobago. As we reflect on the past year, we can all be proud of the strides we’ve made in advancing our Institute’s objectives, and strengthening the value of our profession. However, there remains much work to be done. This year, we are committed to continuing the work of our predecessors, ensuring that our profession remains at the forefront of national discourse, development, and innovation. We will continue to advocate for the recognition of the integral role Surveyors play in shaping the built environment, ensuring sustainable land management, and contributing to the growth of Trinidad and Tobago. We will also continue to prioritize the professional development of our members, ensuring that every Surveyor is equipped with the knowledge, skills, and ethical foundation needed to navigate the complexities of modern surveying practice. Additionally, we look forward to engaging more actively with our younger professionals, encouraging mentorship and knowledge transfer to ensure the future of our profession remains bright and sustainable. As we move forward into 2025, let us renew our commitment to the highest standards of professionalism, integrity, and service to Trinidad and Tobago.
