Seminar I: Value-Based Fees: How to Charge What You’re Worth 8:15 am – 11:30 am
Determining the appropriate fees for land surveying services requires an organizational belief that such services are both important and unique. In this program, attendees will learn how to increase individual and organizational worth and convey competence to prospective clients. We will explore ways to create a profitable business model, as well as discuss other parameters of value, the importance of service diversity, and the creation of a hybrid fee strategy to support a transition to value-based fees. There will also be open discussion, welcoming perspectives and ideas from attendees, on business documents used to reduce liability while enhancing communication with clients.
Seminar II:Changing the Role of a Land Surveyor in the NFIP 2 pm – 4:00 pm
The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), which offers flood insurance to more than 5 million policyholders nationwide, has transioned to Risk Rating 2.0, a more automated rang methodology which uses “systemgenerated”
values to perform more efficient and equitable flood risk analyses. As technology continues to change the role of the land surveyor, it calls for continued education and a willingness to evolve as flood consultants. This program will review important changes in the NFIP, as well as what has not changed. We will discuss how Flood Zone Determinations, Elevation Certificates, and Letters of Map Change still play an important role in helping property owners understand flood insurance and mitigation options, and explore different ways land surveyors can remain actively involved through a variety of real life examples.
