The Bulletin also has on its editorial board one person responsible for the popular Current Events Bulletin event at the Joint Mathematics Meetings. AMS staff in Providence provide all production and administrative support. The Chief Editor will operate from their home institution. Some financial support for this work in available, typically in the form of release time. In order to begin working on the January 2024 issue, some editorial work would begin early in 2023.
