GBA and CalGeo Execute a Memorandum of Understanding

GBA and CalGeo Execute a Memorandum of Understanding

On April 7, 2022 the Geoprofessional Business Association (GBA) and the California Geotechnical Engineering Association (CalGeo) formalized an agreement to work together on common goals in an effort to advance engineering, science, continuing education, and public understanding of the geoprofession.

The memorandum of understanding includes in part:

“In recognition of our common and complementary purposes and shared interests, the Geoprofessional Business Association (GBA) and the California Geotechnical Engineering Association (CalGeo) agree to formalize their relationship in advancing their mutual interests in confronting risk, optimizing performance, and promoting the value of the geoprofession, particularly on behalf of geotechnical and environmental engineers and engineering geologists through this Memorandum of Understanding (MOU).”

This effort was the result of several months of discussions between the leaders of both groups in support of a common understanding that  when we work together, we can elevate the value of the geoprofessions.

A special thank you to the signatories, GBA President Thomas W. Blackburn, PE, GE (Blackburn Consulting), CalGeo President Mike Moscrop, P.E., G.E. (GMU Geotechnical, Inc.), CalGeo Treasurer Mike Cazeneuve, P.E., G.E., CEG (Taylor Group, Inc.), and CalGeo Executive Director, Nick Bundra.
