AMS Resources and Response to the Federal Science Crisis
Just as organizations can be members of the AMS, the AMS is a member of a number of other organizations (and in some cases affiliated in ways that are not formally considered a membership).
The following list shows these affiliations and provides links to the Web sites of each.
AMS is member of three sections of AAAS: Atmospheric and Hydrospheric Science; Physics; and Information, Computing and Communication. AMS and UCAR jointly sponsor one participant annually in their Congressional Fellow Program.
AMS members receive all the benefits conferred by full membership, including free subscriptions to AIP’s flagship magazine, Physics Today, and eligibility for increased participation in AIP's history, news, media outreach, statistics, public policy, and student programs. In addition, the AMS cooperates with the AIP in their Discoveries and Breakthroughs in Science initiative, which creates short science segments for use in television news programs.
This is a group that consists primarily of executives of the various societies. They run a number of good courses throughout the year and provide information on publishing journals and running meetings.
This organization is similar to ASAE, but specific to the engineering and science societies and therefore even more valuable in being a forum for information exchange.
An organization that has many societies, as well as some major corporations affiliated with it. CPST produces extremely important statistics with regard to the needs of scientists and engineers and with regard to the number of scientists and engineers that are coming out of the university system in this country, etc. They do develop recommendations with regard to future direction in these activities, but, more importantly, they are a source of information.
The Intelligent Transportation Society of America is a not-for-profit organization established in 1991 to coordinate the development and deployment of ITS in the United States. ITS America also has alliances with ITS organizations in other countries, most notably in Europe and Asia. The Society also provides numerous membership services and programs to assist its member organizations to achieve their ITS deployment and business objectives. Originally formed as a utilized Federal advisory committee, ITS America works closely with the Department of Transportation on projects and programs in support of the National ITS Program.
Consulting Members of NCIM/ACM are all American Meteorological Society's Board Certified Consulting Meteorologists. The Mission and Purpose of the NCIM, an Association of Certified Meteorologists, is to provide its members with a neutral forum to exchange information, network, and promote professional opportunities for its members in the science of meteorology serving society.
This group’s purpose is to advance the science and public understanding on renewable natural resources. Many societies similar to the AMS are affiliated with this group.
