Return Home@ Organization CAMJ("The Certified and Accredited Meteorologists of Japan") CAMJ is a voluntary, non-profit organization. It was established in 1996 with the purposes of promoting better relations between meteorologists throughout Japan and to exchange information that is related to the weather and climate of Japan. Since the time of its establishment the number of members has increased. To date we have more than 3,300 members throughout Japan. CAMJ Members Almost all of our members are certified by JMA, are accredited by law and permitted to forecast the weather for the public. They are very skilled at analyzing and forecasting short term weather conditions. Some of our members work for the government while others work for companies in the private sector. A substantial number of members are working for non-weather related companies. CAMJ members work in a variety of fields. They are very sociable and are willing to openly communicate with each other and people throughout the world. The CAMJ members are, of course, very enthusiastic about meteorology, disaster prevention and environmental protection. General Meeting and Management Council CAMJ general meeting is held a year, which is the highest decision making function. The daily affairs in our organization are overseen and managed by the board of directors. Advisory Board We at CAMJ greatly appreciate the advice that we receive from special advisors who are/were from Tokyo University and the Japan Meteorological Agency. Branches CAMJ has about twenty branches throughout Japan where local members are serving their communities and enjoy participating in voluntary activities. Gojokai "Gojokai" was once a legal body within our group and was established in order that we keep our financial matters secured.
