For the last 10 years, the AMS Board for Private Sector Meteorologists (BPSM) has connected hundreds of students with mentors in their field of interest; hosted webinars and networking events; and provided guidance and career advice for budding weather nerds.

Learn about the impact these programs have had within our community, and how to get involved in all that the BPSM offers.
