In 2021, NOAA West launched a photo contest to collect photos from students in 5th through 12th grades that represent climate change or climate impacts in their communities. Come check out the winning photos and learn more about some of the work NOAA is doing related to climate change!

NOAA West is hosting its first cohort of participants for the NOAA West Leadership Program. The pilot run of the program offers a focus on NOAA culture, regional cross-LO networking and learning opportunities, and support for new and emerging leaders. NOAA West selected a cohort of 18 GS 11-14/Band III and IV participants from an applicant pool of ~85 employees from Line and Staff Offices in the NOAA West geographic area. Over 20 senior leaders from all LOs in the region volunteered to teach leadership courses. The 12-month program began in May 2021 and will conclude in May 2022. A second run of the program will begin in October 2022.
