Introduction The AMS Board on Societal Impacts focuses on the principle of science in the service of society by considering weather and climate effects on lives, health and well-being, property, and the economy for all people, animals, and the Earth. Vision: A weather and climate enterprise where social science is integrated into research and practice. The Board's Mission is to: " Advise and serve the AMS in matters related to societal impacts of weather and climate; " Raise awareness, encourage, and support efforts relating to societal impacts of weather and climate within AMS and the broader weather and climate enterprise; " Develop and strengthen relationships among scientists, educators, policymakers, and decision-makers from a variety of backgrounds including, but not limited to, agriculture, anthropology, communications, geography, decision science, economics, political science, psychology, public health, and sociology; and " Support the integration of social science research methods into meteorological research and practice. The Board Will Achieve Its Mission By: " Organizing and participating in AMS-sponsored and co-sponsored conferences, symposia, workshops, and sessions to train interdisciplinarians and to facilitate understanding, stimulate work, and clarify issues related to societal impacts; " Interacting with AMS committees, professional societies within and outside meteorology, and national and international agencies regarding societal impacts; " Providing advice, information, and policy statements to AMS on matters concerning societal impacts; and " Encouraging the publication of articles related to societal impacts in scholarly journals, including AMS journals. The Board is also responsible for nominating deserving individuals for AMS Awards and Fellows.
