Is there a need for the Board?

[marois]

During the course of CLSA’s efforts to defeat the Governor’s plan to eliminate the Board for Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors (BPELS). A few emails came to the Central Office indicating that the individual sending the message could not support keeping BPELS. One thought was that CLSA could perform the functions of the Board. Other comments presented was the Board is a waste of public funds, it only offers the LS exam once a year and that it is difficult to get a response from a representative of the board.
My question to the forum is there a need for the Board?
