The 2025 AMS Washington Forum (2025 AWF) provides a platform to examine public policy issues across the weather, water, and climate enterprise.  

The 2025 AMS Washington Forum (2025 AWF) is organized by the AMS Board on Enterprise Economic Development (BEED), a part of the AMS Commission on the Weather, Water, and Climate Enterprise (CWWCE).
