BACKGROUND:
The International Forum of Meteorological Societies (IFMS: www.ifms.org) is an organization to foster and
encourage communication and exchange of knowledge, ideas and resources among the world’s meteorological
societies. The IFMS is organized exclusively for scientific, educational and charitable purposes. The IFMS is quite
distinct from the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). Whereas, the WMO is an agency of the United Nations
that deals with cooperation between Meteorological Services of various nations, the IFMS is meant to create
cooperation between Meteorological Societies of the World. By uniting all National Meteorological Societies
together, IFMS provides the feeling of being a member of a larger family. The Summary of the IFMS Value
Proposition is provide on this link.
OBJECTIVE OF THE WEBINAR:
The objective of the Webinar is to make our members aware of the activities of IFMS, its achievements, its future
plans and its challenges. We would like to get your feedback about our direction, seek your recommendations
to make IFMS serve the National Meteorological & Hydrological Societies and society at large in the best possible
ways. Your feedback will be solicited through Q&A session and through emails and we will respond to all
questions, in writing, as we did in the last Webinar. A survey will be conducted to get your feedback on specific
issues.
Please spread this message to all your members including those from National Meteorological and Hydrological
Services.
All the best,
