AMS encourages its members to exercise their rights as constituents and participate in the policy process.

The American Meteorological Society (AMS) is a professional and scientific society that promotes the development and dissemination of information and education on the atmospheric and related oceanic and hydrologic sciences and the advancement of their professional applications.
AMS also works to connect science, service, and society. The Society has the following goals:
- Working to ensure that policy is built on a foundation of science;
- Fostering an environment in which the government, academic, and private sectors in the atmospheric and related sciences and services work cooperatively to serve the public good; and
- Broadening the appreciation of the advances that have been made in the atmospheric and related sciences and the value those advances can provide to the nation and the world.
Statements of the AMS
To serve AMS members, and to fulfill responsibilities to human society, the AMS periodically issues topical statements. There are four categories of statements: professional guidance, information, policy, and guidelines for statements.
