Following on from the well-attended, highly-engaging congressional staff panels session at the last several AMS Annual meetings, this session will focus on the U.S. Congress, current and proposed legislation - and particularly on the expected reauthorization of the Weather, Research, Forecast, and Innovation Act of 2017 - and Congress’ impact on the Weather, Water, and Climate Enterprise. A panel of Congressional staffers will look back at the first session of the 118th Congress, and will provide insight on prospects for weather-related law-making in the second half of the 118th Congress, and beyond.
Like a mini-AMS Washington Forum, this session will provide an opportunity for Annual Meeting attendees to hear from and engage with Congressional staff, Federal agency representatives, and industry advocates who are integrally involved in the legislative and policy-making processes.
