Western SectionsGuide AMS Scientific Meetings and Help Steer the SocietyPOSITION The American Mathematical Society is seeking
applications and nominations of candidates for the posts of Associate Secretary
of the Central Section and of Associate Secretary of the Western Section. The Council will appoint the two Associate
Secretaries to two-year terms, beginning on February 1, 2022 and ending on
January 31, 2024. Reappointments are possible and desirable. All necessary

welcoming fashion. Candidates that share in this approach are strongly
encouraged to apply. DUTIES AMS Associate Secretaries play key roles in
creating the scientific programs of AMS meetings, as well as providing
essential input to several AMS committees.

geographic section. This includes overall responsibility for the
scientific program, as well as the responsibility of arranging host
institutions and guiding local organizers.
- Once
every four years an Associate Secretary has primary responsibility for the
scientific program at the January Joint Mathematics Meetings.
- The
AMS conducts an active international joint meeting program, and Associate
Secretaries are involved in these meetings on a rotating basis.
- Associate
Secretaries are supported by, and work closely with, the AMS Department of
Meetings and Conferences.
- An
Associate Secretary is an officer of the Society, a member of the AMS
Council, and a member of the Secretariat—a committee consisting of the
four Associate Secretaries and the Secretary, which has considerable
responsibility and authority in the direction of the AMS meetings program.
