She is a past director and president of the Texas Society of Professional Surveyors (TSPS) and served as the TSPS GIS Committee chair and president of the Geographic and Land Information Society (a former member organization of the American Congress of Surveying and Mapping). Coleen is currently the chair of the TBPLS Item Writing Committee.

“I am very honored to serve in this capacity,” she said of her appointment by Governor Abbott. “I have always been a big proponent of volunteering my services to help serve my profession. It is my opinion that serving in these organizations is a huge part of being a professional.”
