Message from LSD Chairman (August 2012)

Reciprocity Agreement with the Chartered Institution of Civil Engineering Surveyors (Geospatial Engineering)

I am pleased to inform you that we signed a reciprocity agreement (RA) with Chartered Institution of Civil Engineering Surveyors (ICES) for three years between Land Surveyors and Geospatial Engineers on 3 August 2012.
 
The Signing Ceremony was held at the SLC in the presence of members from ICES and HKIS. Mr Andrew Keung, Chief Representative for Southeast Asia of ICES, and Sr Serena Lau, our president, signed the RA.
 
We are excited that the HKIS has entered the RA with ICES in the area of land surveying specialties – Geospatial Engineering Stream – in two years’ time after the signing of the RA between HKIS (Quantity Surveying Division) and ICES (Commercial Management Stream). The RA marks a closer collaboration between the two organizations, and through the RA and other activities, we hope to foster the industry’s development and communications around the globe.
 
With immediate effect, a LSD corporate member and/or a LSD associate member of the HKIS in good standing who possesses one year’s experience of post-qualification professional practice relevant to ICES (Geospatial Engineering Stream) and is able to pass a professional competence interview on his/her suitability for admission conducted by ICES may be elected as a member or technical member of ICES (Geospatial Engineering Stream).
 
Likewise, corporate and/or technical members of ICES who have one year of relevant post-qualification professional experience in land surveying in Hong Kong and have passed a professional competence interview on their suitability for admission conducted by the HKIS LSD may also be elected. In order to ensure the quality and competence of members, both HKIS and ICES have established respectively a very stringent professional and technical assessment standard for the election of members. The RA offers an alternative exposure to members of both professional bodies to communicate and exchange with the practitioners in Hong Kong and worldwide.
