Charlie Woodrum is a junior meteorology student at Florida State University. He comes to Florida State University from Morgantown, WV, pursuing a degree specializing in synoptic meteorology. Throughout his undergraduate enrollment he has done a work study supervised by Bill Cottrill. During his work study, he has gained over 400 hours of experience at the Florida State University weather station, taking the nightly weather observations atop the Love Building. Charlie also has volunteer experience, courtesy of Dr. Henry Fuelberg, as an intern at the National Weather Service in Pittsburgh.

Charlie also has volunteered at the 2006 Annual AMS Meeting in Atlanta, GA and Springtime Tallahassee. At these events he realized the importance of communication between members of our chapter of the AMS with professionals in our field, fellow classmates, professors, and the public. To enhance communication he developed a discussion board for FSU meteorology students which can be viewed at http://barometer.runboard.com. As the chair of the membership committee, Charlie looks to increase the number of members and attendance in our chapter of the AMS, especially at the undergraduate level. It is very important to him that all members feel comfortable at meetings, social events, and fundraising activities.
