I am writing to request OPPSD and COO provide their highest priority FY 2023 NWS accomplishments. Please input accomplishments here no later than November 13, 2023 close of business. Please review the detailed guidance for writing accomplishments, found here. Please see FY 2022 Accomplishments for examples.
Please ensure accomplishments are 200 words or less. Accomplishments should be important in terms of high impact to the Nation, or to NWS’s ability to provide service now and in the future. CFO1 can integrate accomplishments across portfolios or across FMCs, if more than one office submits accomplishments on the same or similar topics. CFO1 plans to submit approximately 7 or 8 accomplishments to the AA and DAA, reflecting major projects, significant grants related activities, implementation of tools, and service to the Nation. The AA and DAA will select 4 to 5 accomplishments for inclusion in the FY 2025 Bluebook.
Elements of Accomplishments include:
- Overview statement which articulates what NWS has done overall;
- Specific actions taken by NWS staff;
- Why this matters to the NWS or to the Nation;
- Performance measures, where possible;
- Supporting information and context;
- Information related to investments including budget and appropriations, including supplemental and BIL, information, where possible.
