A Member Testimony

"The opportunity to spend several days a year with fellow consulting soil scientists is immensely attractive to those of us who seldom get a chance to meet with our peers. Sharing understanding, advice and insights has been key to improving myself as a scientist as well as growing my business. It is difficult to quantify the ways that NSCSS has assisted me in striving for professional excellence, but it shows in my work product. One of my mental tests for quality is asking myself "will I feel comfortable showing this to my peers". If client loyalty and satisfaction is any indicator of professionalism, I can point to a reduction in the average age of my accounts receivables to 3 weeks and a doubling in my charge out rate in four years, both while expanding my client base. I can also point to thousands of dollars in annual savings and new market revenues that I attribute to my fellow board members. I have also reduced my firm's exposure to professional liability in excess of a million dollars. Are you folks great or what?"

The chance for interacting with building community with peer soil science consultants is the most commonly expressed value of membership. Formal and informal venues for exchanging information related to business skills, high standards of practice, and new opportunities are core functions cultivated within NSCSS. Members also enjoy group rates for liability insurance, access to professional registration, and an opportunity to work together to advance the profession. NSCSS is a cooperator within the National Cooperative Soil Survey, giving members standing from which to access standards of practice critical to maintaining professionalism.
