Sign the Accord

Greetings GBA Members, Friends and Colleagues…

We have a simple, and what we believe to be transformative, request of you. Please review and add your name as a Signatory to the The Geoprofessional Value Accord, if you concur with the essence of its themes.

*Important Considerations: Note that the Accord is non-binding and that the guiding principles are prefaced by the words Our value is advanced when we…” Thus, as a signatory to the Accord you are not obligating yourself or your firm in any way. Rather, by signing the Accord you are affirming that, as an individual, you believe the guiding principles, when engaged by geoprofessionals, serve to elevate our value.

We do not intend to widely publicize (beyond the GBA membership community) this effort until we’ve reached the milestone of 2,000 signatures. We will keep you well apprised of our progress towards the goal in this “quiet phase” of the campaign.

If you have questions or concerns about this initiative please contact us.

Thank you in advance for your support,

Rick Heckel and Joel Carson
