Surveyor Debriefing Sessions

MAERB will be holding two debriefing sessions for MAERB Site Surveyors at the end of fall 2026. The content shared in the two sessions will be the same, even though the conversation will vary according to the participants.

The debriefing sessions are designed for Site Surveyors who would like to share their thoughts on their experience on recent site visits, what resources MAERB might be able to develop to respond to any concerns, and to share thoughts about the overall process. In addition, we will be covering some of the technicalities of the site visits. These webinars will NOT be recorded, as the goal is to have exploratory conversation.
