Todd Glickman was appointed Secretary of the AMS for a four-year term effective January 2025. A member of the AMS since the mid 1970s, Todd has been active in many volunteer activities of the Society, including: Chair of the AMS Board on Broadcast Meteorology, Chair of the AMS Board on Private Sector Meteorology, Chair of the AMS Broadcast Certification Appeals Committee, and member of the STAC Board of Aviation Range and Aerospace Meteorology, the Steering Committee of the Weather Water and Enterprise Commission, the Board of Continuing Education, and the CBM Test Review Committee.

Todd majored in Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences at MIT, where he received the SB in 1977. Subsequently he received the MBA from the Executive Program at Suffolk University in 1988.

Todd’s career in the enterprise began in 1979, when he was one of the first employees of WSI Corporation. At WSI, he served in a number of roles, including Marketing Manager and Manager of the Government Program Office. When WSI was acquired by The Analytic Sciences Corporation (TASC) in 1983, Todd oversaw a number of projects supporting US Government customers’ meteorological data and system requirements. In addition, he was a pioneering member of the private sector group that advocated for the exchange of meteorological information at incremental cost to firms that created value-added products for use in a wide variety of applications. In partnership with NWS leadership, the group planned the “Family of Services” data distribution system that led to improved cooperation between the private sector and government.

In 1993, Todd was appointed Assistant Executive Director of the AMS. In that role, he supported many headquarters functions, including Executive Committee and Council activities, Commissions on Professional Affairs and STAC, and assisted with the organization of the annual meetings. A key activity of Todd’s tenure at the AMS was serving as Managing Editor for the AMS Glossary of Meteorology (Second Edition), which was published in January 2000. For this effort, Todd and his colleagues on the Editorial Board received a Special Award from the AMS.

In 2000, Todd accepted a position at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Office of Corporate Relations, which is responsible for establishing mutually beneficial relationships between large corporations and the university for the purpose of supporting MIT’s research agenda. He retired as Senior Director of Corporate Relations in February 2025. While at MIT, Todd was (and continues to be) a trustee of the MIT radio station, WMBR (88.1FM), and public address announcer for large events such as Commencement, where he also reads graduates’ names and hosts the on-line webcast of the ceremony.

Todd maintained part-time work as a broadcast meteorologist on WCBS Newsradio-880 in New York City that spanned a 45-year period from 1979 to 2024. He also serves as on the board of directors of the Market Street Railway in San Francisco, is an officer and Chief Instructor at the Seashore Trolley Museum in Kennebunkport, Maine, and volunteers for the New York Transit Museum in New York City.

Todd received the AMS Seal of Approval for Radio Weathercasting in 1979, was elected a Fellow of the AMS in 1995, and was awarded the Certified Broadcast Meteorologist (CBM) designation in 2005.
