Scott Thompson, elected in 2019 as Mesa County’s surveyor and re-elected in 2023, has been named this year’s “Surveyor of the Year” by the Professional Land Surveyors of Colorado.
The honor is presented annually to a professional who has demonstrated excellence in land surveying and has made significant contributions to the profession and community, a Mesa County press release reads. The award was presented to Thompson at a special ceremony on March 27, at the Rocky Mountain Surveyors Summit in Westminster, Colo.
“It is an honor to receive the Surveyor of the Year award from the Professional Land Surveyors of Colorado,” Thompson said. “To be a land surveyor is to be a steward of accuracy and a chronicler of the Earth beneath our feet, ensuring the integrity of land surveying.”
Thompson began in the profession in 1971 and was licensed as a professional land surveyor in Colorado in 1981. Through the years, he has been respected and known for his meticulous work and integrity, the release reads.
