the Summer Policy Colloquium, but who will actively contribute.



This year the Colloquium will be held June 1-10 at the AAAS Building and
Washington Marriott at Metro Center across the street. The deadline for
applications is March 31, 2014. So please think about who you know who
would add to the richness of the Colloquium and benefit professionally from
the experience. Kindly encourage those individuals to apply - send emails,

To keep this great program going we need to continue to have great people
involved. We look to all sectors of our community - universities, private
sector and government - to provide us with a new class of leaders.
Questions may be directed to Caitlin Buzzas at cbuzzas at ametsoc.org. We hope
you can help us recruit for the 2014 Summer Policy Colloquium!



Sincerely,
