NSSL and SPC Employees Association (NSEA)
Mission Statement
The NSSL and SPC Employees Association (NSEA) is a non-profit organization which provides social interaction for employees from the National Severe Storms Laboratory, the Storm Prediction Center, and the Cooperative Institute for Mesoscale Meteorological Studies and their families and friends, and provides a better working environment for employees at NSSL, SPC, and CIMMS. NSEA has purchased framed pictures for our hallways, and sponsors annual events such as our Winter Holiday dinner, a Halloween party, the NSEA Chili Cookoff, a July summer picnic, and an October golf tournament. The NSEA also sends flowers to hospitalized employees and members of their immediate families. NSEA has donated money to charitable organizations or plants for funeral services in memory of passing NSSL/SPC/CIMMS employees and members of their immediate families, as well as members of the Norman meteorological community. NSEA maintains various concessions including NSSL and SPC logo merchandise and clothing, and severe weather photographs. NSEA maintains a "General Store" of drinks, snacks, and other food items for NSSL/SPC/CIMMS employees. NSEA has purchased appliances for the use of all employees (including a refrigerator and lunchroom microwave), and constructed a memorial in front of the NSSL/SPC building to honor the federal workers killed in the Murrah Building bombing in Oklahoma City. NSEA also recycles various paper and metal products produced as waste from our lab, and uses the money to plant trees around our building. We hope everyone enjoys the benefits of NSEA.
