2008 Call for AMS Annual Partnership Topic Nominations
The primary purpose of the AMS Commission on the Weather and Climate Enterprise (CWCE) Board on Enterprise Planning (BEP) is to review issues of a long-term strategic nature with importance to the weather and climate community as a whole. BEP will select one issue, called the Annual Partnership Topic (APT), each year from nominations submitted by members of our community. Nominations are encouraged from all community sectors: academic, government, private, and end user. BEP will evaluate each APT nomination using the evaluation criteria contained in the APT Nomination Form below. All community members may comment on any APT nomination.
Two previously selected APTs are in currently in process: one on Hurricanes Disasters (now near completion) and one on Mesonets.
New APT nominations are being accepted through 31 May 2008. Please refer to the APT Nomination Form below and follow its instructions to submit an APT nomination or a comment on a nomination.
Thank you for your support and interest. If you have any questions, please contact the members of the BEP by sending email to amsbep@ametsoc.org.
