We bring together scientists, professionals, students, authors, educators, researchers, and weather enthusiasts from around the world to share their expertise and collaborate.
We offer certification programs, online learning, and other professional development opportunities so that our members can learn, grow, and succeed.
The AMS has had a lasting impact on me and my career; I am both thankful and humbled to have this opportunity to serve as its president. Over the more than 40 years that I have been a member, the scientific innovations and advances in weather and climate services have been nothing short of remarkable. The benefits to society are indisputable. The mission of the AMS is to promote and support this success and it does so through its excellent staff, leadership, and volunteers. As the vulnerabilities of the world are increasingly tested by extreme weather events, I am particularly thankful for the AMS community and proud of the tremendous value it brings to the nation and beyond.
