Retirement of Bernie Connell
After 30 years at CIRA, Senior Research Associate Dr. Bernie Connell celebrated her retirement at CIRA on 4 September 2025. Connell supported forecasters, managers and decision makers with training on satellite products in the national and international communities during her time at Colorado State University. Steve Miller’s comments: ”Bernie has always been a strong champion for the core values we continue to share across our CIRA community—access, inclusion, equity, respect, professionalism and a trust that is earned through a demonstrated, sustained and sincere commitment to uplifting the people of our field and to supporting each other. When it comes to training our community’s users of satellite information (both domestic and international partners), Bernie has led a powerful and effective team. I have great confidence in those who will continue and expand upon her work, having learned from one of the very best.”
