MRS Board of Directors

The MRS Board of Directors is comprised of elected officers and Directors. Directors are elected for three-year terms with one third of the Board changing each year. The President-Elect serves three years (as President-Elect, President, and Past President) and the Secretary is elected for a three-year term. The Treasurer is appointed yearly by the Board. All members of the Board, except the President, serve on one of three committees: Planning (PlanCom), Operational Oversight (OpsCom) and External Relations (ERC), and each committee is responsible for formulating policy and strategy issues in their specific areas for full Board consideration. The chairs of these committees plus the officers comprise the Governance Committee (GovCom).
