Associate Treasurer

of the American Mathematical Society

Help Guide AMS Fiscal Policy

The Associate Treasurer helps administer and supervise AMS fiscal policies in the interest of the mathematical community.

You know finance and you know the AMS. Now you have the chance to play a leading role in managing AMS policies, expenditures, investments, and budgets, while following trends in finance. The American Mathematical Society seeks applications and nominations of candidates for the post of Associate Treasurer. This individual is an officer of the Society appointed by the Council to a two-year term beginning February 1, 2022. All necessary expenses incurred by the Associate Treasurer in performance of duties for the Society are reimbursed, including travel and communications.

QUALIFICATIONS

We welcome applications from PhD mathematicians who have substantial knowledge of Society activities. Although the Associate Treasurer is appointed for a term of two years, candidates willing to make a longer commitment will be preferred, as it is expected that the Associate Treasurer will be reappointed for subsequent terms pending successful performance reviews. The AMS strives to serve mathematicians of all disciplines in an inclusive, equitable, and welcoming fashion. Candidates that share in this approach are strongly encouraged to apply.

DUTIES

The Associate Treasurer has many duties parallel to those of the Treasurer:

• Administering or supervising administration of fiscal policies in the interest of the mathematical community, as determined by the Trustees.
• Monitoring funds, investments, budgets, and trends of finance over periods of years, and reviewing salary policy for AMS employees and its applications to individuals.
• Serving ex officio as a member of the Board of Trustees, Council, and other committees, as well as serving as Secretary of the Board of Trustees.
