From the National Integrated Drought Information System website:

There is an interactive agenda planned with a mixture of business and networking. Classic "business" topics will include:

• AASC Mesonet Recognition Program
• Updates to the AASC Mesonet Best Practices document
• Funding ideas and opportunities
• Development of a professional mentoring / training program
• AASC Mesonet website, promotion, and marketing
• Updates from our key partners

This meeting is intended to foster discussion on issues that affect the way mesonets operate rather than a program of individual presentations. Interaction is a key part of this goal, hence the in-person structure. The AASC Mesonet Committee hopes to integrate opportunities for attendees to interact to continue to foster the community, share lessons learned, and build a connection of resources for everyone’s success.
