Jeff Kimpel, Director of NSSL, completed his term as President of the AMS during the organization's 81st Annual Meeting in Albuquerque, New Mexico January 14-19, 2001. Among his many duties as President, Kimpel oversaw planning for the meeting that attracted more than 3,000 of the world's leading meteorologists, atmospheric scientists and hydrologists. Two NSSL scientists were recognized during the proceedings. NSSL's Dave Schultz was presented with the AMS Editor's Award. Schultz was recognized "for providing extremely thorough, timely and constructive evaluations of a large number of manuscripts over a diverse range of topics, and for special assistance to the editors in evaluation of controversial issues" for the Monthly Weather Review, one of nine AMS scientific journals. Doug Lilly, a distinguished senior scientist with NSSL and emeritus professor of meteorology at OU, was named an honorary member of the AMS.
