Member at Large

Term

Three years. The election is contested and immediate re-election is barred.

Duties

To legislate for the Society on matters concerned with “the furtherance of the interests of mathematical scholarship and research.” Insofar as legislation involves the expenditure of funds, it takes the form of recommendations to the Trustees. The duties are accomplished through one committee meeting and 2 council meetings per year, with occasional extraordinary meetings and Business by Mail. The Council is so constituted that the Members at Large and Vice Presidents (also elected in contested elections) are a majority of the Council.

The 12 January 1993 Council established new policy committees, namely the Science Policy Committee, the Committee on Education, the Committee on Meetings and Conferences, the Committee on the Profession and the Committee on Publications. The membership of these committees shall include three Council members, appointed by the President from among the Vice Presidents and Members at Large of the Council. It is likely that each Member at Large would be asked to serve on one or more of the above policy committees.
