Board for Private Sector Meteorologists (BPSM)
What's New:
Private Sector Mentorship Program Expanded
 In 2007 the Board for Private Sector Meteorologists (BPSM) started a mentorship program to create and foster one-on-one personal interactions between mentors employed in the private sector and students interested in working in the private sector to enhance their understanding of opportunities and professional growth potential in the private sector of the weather and climate professional enterprise. Pennsylvania State University undergraduate students Bryan Oshinski and Zachary Byko, pictured here, were two of the first students in the mentorship program. Bryan and Zach were mentored by two outstanding Certified Consulting Meteorologists, Mr. Phillip Falconer and Mr. Richard Westergard. Due to the program’s overwhelming success, the mentorship program is being expanded, with the number of mentors, students, and universities continuing to grow.
