About CASLE

Mission

"We are committed to the advancement of the profession of Surveying in the Commonwealth, and to the enhancement of the skills of Surveyors in the management of the natural and built environments for the common good."

Aims

Foremost among CASLE's aims are:

• the encouragement of provision in Commonwealth countries of adequate facilities for professional and technician education
• the transfer of technology throughout the Commonwealth, and
• through programmes of continuing professional development, the constant up-dating of professional skills and the application of rapidly advancing technologies to a wide variety of surveyors' functions.

Objectives

CASLE was formed in 1969 as a federation of independent professional societies representing surveying and land economy in Commonwealth countries. CASLE is an organisation which is non profit-making in nature, and any monies raised, or any surplus monies made from its activities are deployed into activities which are intended to support its aims as set out in Article 2 of the Constitituon.

It currently comprises over 40 societies in 32 countries and it has approved Associate Members and correspondents, some of whom are in 19 other countries. Its objectives have accordingly been defined as:

• fostering the development of the profession in all Commonwealth countries.
• fostering appropriate standards of education for surveying and land economy and the establishment of appropriate facilities for education and training.
• helping to develop professional techniques and practices attuned to national needs.
• facilitating the transfer of technology within the Commonwealth and assisting national programmes of continuing professional development designed to keep surveyors up-to-date.
• encouraging dialogue between its member societies and national governments on all matters of national policy on which the profession is competent to offer informed opinions and advice.
