Attend an AMS Policy Colloquium

Twice a year, the AMS Policy Program convenes a select group in Washington, D.C. for an immersive introduction to science policy. Graduate students, faculty, and professionals in the field of atmospheric sciences and their applications form a cohort that tackles hands-on exercises, hears from dozens of prominent experts, and forges strong professional networking connections.

Participate in a Congressional Visits Day

Congressional Visits Days are an opportunity for scientists to meet with congressional staff. The goal is to provide information, build relationships, and develop an improved understanding of the Congressional landscape.
