Zone Meetings

NCEES is made up of 69 engineering and surveying licensing boards that represent all U.S. states, the District of Columbia, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

These boards are divided into four zones: Central, Northeast, Southern, and Western.

The zones generally meet twice a year—at the annual meeting in August and at the zone interim meetings in the spring.

Funding available to member boards

In accordance with NCEES policy, the Council will fund the lodging, travel expenses, and registration fees for the designated member board administrator (MBA) from each member board. The Council will provide the same funding to three eligible delegates.

For the designated attendees to receive this funding, their respective member boards must be in active status as defined in Bylaws 10.012. Delegates must attend all business meetings on Friday and Saturday. Additional eligibility requirements for each funding type are described below.

When meeting registration opens, NCEES will send an invitation to each designated funded attendee via email with meeting information and instructions for registering and making travel arrangements. Invitations will be emailed to the primary email address on file.

Member board administrator

NCEES will automatically invite the current eligible board administrator when registration opens. When an MBA represents more than one board, the funding is for the designated MBA only and not for the assistant MBA or other member board staff. This funding is not transferable to someone else.

Funded delegates

To qualify to be a funded delegate, the individual must be a current board member or an associate member.

Member boards can find the appropriate forms to update NCEES about new board members or to nominate a member of board staff for associate member status on MyNCEES.
