12/9/2022

Fair Skies Consulting is a 2022 National Weather Service WeatherReady Nation Ambassador of Excellence. National Weather Service (NWS) Forecast Offices across the United States nominate a small group of WeatherReady Ambassadors annually. The offices then vote on the nominations. The successful nominations are Weather Ready Nation Ambassadors of Excellence. Fair Skies Consulting is one of less than 55 groups identified as an Ambassador of Excellence in 2022. Ambassadors of Excellence routinely go above and beyond the basic expectations of a WeatherReady Nation Ambassador.
