The Multi-community Environmental Storm Observatory (MESO) was founded in 1998 by a diverse group of people from all over the US. Over the years, it has evolved, but still remains a tightly-knit collection of friends with diverse backgrounds and a common passion for severe weather and helping the public.
The original group who met in May 1998 are the Incorporators of MESO. The Board of Directors (with two-year elected terms) is shown in GREEN, along with the rest of the team keeps the organization active and productive.
If this sounds like something you'd like to be a part of, we encourage you to submit a membership application and join the team!
