Certification Comes of Age: After 50 Years, the CCM Program Is Just Getting Started

摘要

For fifty years, the American Meteorological Society (AMS) has met the needs of those requiring professional weather- and climate-related services through its Certified Consulting Meteorologist (CCM) Program. Over the years, the program has become known for certifying meteorologists with high standards of knowledge, experience, and professional character. But despite the value of the services CCMs provide, growth in the program has been slow, and the AMS is now considering how to emphasize the importance of the designation as it prepares to celebrate the program's fiftieth anniversary.
