Alabama Board of Licensure for Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors

BELS Board meeting was today! The Board members work hard to protect the citizens of Alabama and address engineering and land surveying issues brought before the Board.

Sorry for the late post but BELS staff was busy last week. Chief Investigator Bob Herbert and Special Investigator Bill Hamil attended the Alabama Fire College last Thursday and spoke to the Plans Examiner class. We appreciate the work the Plans Examiners do to ensure the safety of our citizens through code compliance. Also, Executive Secretary Bonnie Kelly and Special Investigator Michael Darden attended the ACEC Conference and talked with several licensed Alabama Engineers and Land Surveyors. It was great to see everyone.

Happy 4th of July from the BELS Staff. Have a fun and safe weekend.

Reminder, the BELS office will by closed on Thursday, July 4th. We will be back in the office on Friday, July 5th should you need assistance.
