African Met Society 1st General Assembly 11 May

The African Meteorological Society (AfMS) has been established and formally registered in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia on the 1st March 2022.

The main objective now is to operationalize the Society’s activities. Thus, the first General Assembly (GA-01) meeting will be held on 11 May 2022 at 10:00 AM Eastern Time (US and Canada). The objective of that meeting is to brief participants about the activities that have so far been implemented, plans for future activities and invite people to  commit and contribute to these activities.

The PRs of the African National Meteorological and Hydrological Services and all other current and possible future friends of AfMS  are invited to this meeting.  We hope that through this meeting we will be able to convince those African countries which do not yet have an NMSoc to create one to take advantage of the activities of AfMS because only NMSocs can become full members of AfMS.   Please find see below the AfMS First General Assembly agenda.
