The Surveyor in Jeopardy

Similar to the popular game show, this program is an audience participation program in which the presenter will give an answer to a surveying-related query in a variety of categories, and audience members (organized into teams) will have the opportunity to suggest a question appropriate to that answer. Each question and answer will be subsequently discussed and explained to assure that everyone in the audience understands the context and how the question and answer relate. Categories include ALTA/NSPS Standards, Boundaries, Easements, Rules of the Board, Survey Standards, Expert Witness, and Riparian Rights. For those may have attended the very well-received December 2021 version of this program, the 2022 edition is completely new featuring all new questions and will qualify as a separate program.
