The 2010-2011 year marks the chapter's 9th year of existence. In our first eight years, our programs have been recognized by the national AMS in receiving mention on the Local
Chapter Honor Roll in 2003-2004,
2006-2007, and 2009-2010; and their ultimate honor, Local Chapter of the Year in 2004-2005, 2007-2008 and most recently in 2008-2009.
We work closely with local area schools, community outreach organizations, the Florida State University Department of Meteorology, the
Tallahassee Weather Forecast Office of the National Weather Service,
educational/outreach organizations, and local television stations to promote meteorology within the community.
