The Conference on Empowering Excellence: Building Collaboration and Innovation for a Thriving Weather, Water, and Climate Enterprise is sponsored by the American Meteorological Society.
The American Meteorological Society (AMS) is dedicated to advancing science and services for the benefit of society. As highlighted in the theme of the 107th Annual Meeting, PEOPLE: People Educated On Planet Live Empowered, we recognize that a thriving and innovative weather, water, and climate enterprise is strengthened by the well-being of its people - students, researchers, practitioners, forecasters, volunteers, and the workforce. The AMS champions workplace environments that foster creativity, innovation, and respectful and impactful collaborations. The Conference on Empowering Excellence focuses on the “human factor” of our rapidly changing world. We invite papers that offer actionable strategies, lessons learned, best practices, and transformative ideas in the following areas: workforce development, innovation and safety, mental health, emerging tech and ethics, and collaborative models.
