The Commission on Education and Human Resources is one of the six commissions of the American Meteorological Society that report directly to the AMS Council (see the organization chart). The boards and committees that operate within this commission broadly represent education, outreach, and human resource-related activities of the Society.

The EHR Commission membership consists of the Commissioner and the chairs of the three constituent Boards. Any three members including the Commissioner will constitute a quorum. The authority and responsibility of the commission is: To be responsible to the Council for the Society’s programs in popular, K–12, and university-level education; for the Society’s programs addressing issues related to women and minorities; for monitoring human resources in the atmospheric and related sciences; for recommending annually recipients for five of the Society’s awards (Louis J. Battan Author’s Adult and K-12 Awards, Charles E. Anderson Award, Teaching Excellence Award, and Distinguished Science Journalism in the Atmospheric and Related Sciences) and scholarships for undergraduate and minority students; and for organizing professional meetings on education and human resource issues.
