New Directions at the Interagency Council for Advancing Meteorological Services (ICAMS) to Better Serve the Federal Weather and Water Enterprise

The vision of Interagency Council for Advancing Meteorological Services (ICAMS) is to enable interagency collaboration that adds value to strategies serving the federal weather and water enterprise and ensure US global leadership in meteorological services. To this end, ICAMS has undertaken new initiatives in order to better align its mission and operation to serve the Federal Weather Enterprise. These initiatives include standing up a strategic steering group (SG), changes to the governing ICAMS charter, and reassessing its current committee configuration to enable more effective collaboration and strategic coordination. These changes arise from systematic consultation with ICAMS co-chairs and members, as well as ICAMS staff.
