At the business meeting on April 12 we will be holding elections for a new Chapter Vice President (currently vacant), a new Secretary-Treasurer (to replace Edmund Mendelssohn as his two-year term ends), a new AMS Council Representative (currently vacant), and two Student Representatives (to replace Daniel Koplitz as his two-year term ends).
We therefore invite you to send nominations for all four of these positions by email to erica.buurman<at>sjsu.edu at any time between now and April 12.
Officer role descriptions:
—The Vice President works together with the President and Secretary to plan meetings and oversee the operations of the Chapter.
—The Secretary-Treasurer keeps the records and correspondence of the Chapter, and files the required AMS reports each year by June 30.
—The AMS Council Representative represents the Chapter on the AMS Council and serves a three-year term.
— Student Representatives serve two-year terms as non-voting members of the AMS Council.
— Chapter officers and student representatives attend separate breakfast meetings at the Annual Meeting. The travel of student representatives to the Annual Meeting is subsidized through the Chapter Fund.
Election to Council is not only a distinct honor, but the stepping stone to all further elected positions within the Society. The Council considers issues of interest to its members, may initiate new committees to study those issues, and sends recommendations to the Board.
