From Highway Geology Symposium: Its History, Organization, and Function:
Unlike most groups and organizations that meet on a regular basis, the Highway Geology Symposium has no central headquarters, no annual dues, and no formal membership requirements. The governing body of the Symposium is a steering committee made up of about 20 engineering geologists and geotechnical engineers from state and federal agencies, colleges and universities, as well as private service companies and consulting firms throughout the country. Since 1950, the location of meetings moved around the country and the 1982 Symposium was held in Vail, Colorado, addressing the many ubiquitous and unique problems of Colorado highways.
