The Texas Board of Professional Geoscientists (TBPG) has voted to adopt the final definitions and rules for the Emeritus and Distinguished Professional Geoscientist (P.G.) recognition programs.
The Emeritus program is an honorary, non-practicing retirement designation that recognizes the career service of Texas P.G.s who have met the highest standards of licensure and professional practice. This designation is available only to P.G.s who are retiring or have retired within the last three years from the public practice of geoscience in Texas.
The Distinguished P.G. program allows the Board to recognize the exemplary service of active Texas P.G.s who have consistently demonstrated the highest standards of licensure and professional geoscience practice and have distinguished themselves during their years of public practice as a Texas P.G.
Additional information on both programs will be available in the coming months from the TBPG.
