Ron Przybylinski, the former Science and Operations Officer (SOO) of the National Weather Service Forecast Office in St. Louis, Missouri, left us the legacy of his unending motivation to interconnect weather operations and research in strong and enduring ways. Ron was a master in the transition zone, or nexus, of operations and research. Research interactions with Ron led to large field projects that provided the great benefit both to operations and the general knowledge. Ron Przybylinski inspired the idea of the RON Meetups, which have taken place at the National Weather Association (NWA) Annual Meetings since 2015 and American Meteorological Society (AMS) Annual Meetings since 2018.

This session will provide the opportunity for an interactive "meetup" between research and operational meteorologists. The groups will rotate through a number of stations in speed-mentoring fashion and discuss ideas and themes that could benefit forecast and warning operations. The goal is simple: to build and develop new relationships in the nexus!
