NSCSS President
March 5, 2010
The mission of the National Society of Consulting Soil Scientists, Inc. is:

   To advance the discipline and practice of soil science by professionals,
   To promote quality interaction between professional soil scientists and
    their communities,
   To represent the diverse consulting, service and business interests of
    professional soil scientists,
   To facilitate the exchange of business and soil science experiences within
    the Society, and
   To foster professional and ethical conduct in the soil science discipline.
   Cooperation! We need to cooperate with
    other professionals.
   Professionalism! We need to promote our
    soil science profession.
   Ethical Practice is at the heart of who
    NSCSS is.
   The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)
    with the Soil Science Society of America
    (SSSA)
   The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)
    with the USDA-NRCS and the National
    Cooperative Soil Survey (NCSS)
Strengthening Professional Relationships:
    The MOU with SSSA
    The MOU with NRCS and the NCSS
    Other Professional Societies
     What do we want to accomplish with these

    Michael Chase on an MOU.

 SWCS is one of the professional societies that they
  have been aligned with.

  Steinhardt on an MOU.
