The National Association of State Boards of Geology (ASBOG) is a Georgia-based organization that serves as a collaborative forum for its State Member Boards to coordinate and advise on the regulation of the geology profession. Its primary role is to develop standardized examinations—the Fundamentals of Geology and the Practice of Geology—that member boards can use to assess applicants seeking licensure, with procedures designed to ensure fairness and validity in measuring competency for professional geologists. By providing uniform tests, ASBOG supports state boards in safeguarding the public and ensuring consistent qualifications across jurisdictions. The organization is comprised of dues-paying state boards or equivalent entities responsible for geology licensure across U.S. states, territories, and the District of Columbia, and it operates within the government relations services space. ASBOG is based in Georgia and has a footprint that includes ongoing administration of the National Geology Examination twice yearly, with state boards administering the exams in spring and fall. In 2021, leadership included Jason Patton serving as president for the calendar year, reflecting the organization's governance structure and ongoing activity.
