AMATYC Networks (ANets) offer AMATYC members a way to organize
and network professionally with other AMATYC members who share
a common interest. At least five AMATYC members need to express
an interest in forming an ANet for it to be considered by the
AMATYC Board. The Board determines if the proposed ANet fits the
mission of AMATYC. If approved by the Board, the ANet is assigned
to one of AMATYC’s eight academic committees to help with
organization and to provide support to the ANet. AMATYC support
for an ANet includes assistance in identifying potential additional
members, publicizing group activities, and assistance in finding
locations for the network to meet during AMATYC conferences. ANets
are reviewed by the Board every three years to see if they should
continue.
