Since 1957, the
American Meteorological Society has awarded the designation of
Certified Consulting Meteorologist (CCM) to individuals who
have demonstrated to a Board of their peers that they possess the
knowledge, experience, and character to professionally and
competently serve the public as meteorological subject matter
experts. The primary purpose of the program is to enable users of
meteorological services to select consultants with the confidence
that they will receive high quality, authoritative and ethical
professional counsel.
The CCM program is a public service administered by the AMS. The essential attributes of a CCM are a specialized knowledge combined with a broad background, an ingrained concept of service, and a clear and unwavering adherence to the rules of professional conduct. The program includes a mandatory continued professional development component to ensure that active CCMs maintain currency in the rapidly evolving disciplines of the atmospheric sciences.
