AMATYC Leadership Positions
AMATYC often seeks leaders to support the organization. If you have an interest, we can probably find a leadership position for you. Our volunteers lead our AMATYC networks (ANets), plan our conference, create our publications, run our student competitions, and provide other important services. Leaders are what keep AMATYC running. Our thanks go out to all those who have worked in these positions and are currently working!
Leadership positions receive support to help defray the cost of attending the AMATYC Annual Conference. This support includes airfare, lodging in the conference hotel, and transportation (to and from the airport). It is AMATYC's hope that this financial support will help ease the costs of attending an annual conference for those who must attend as part of their leadership role.
Want to know more? Ask a leader you know, or email your Regional VP, the AMATYC President (president@amatyc.org) or the Executive Director (debora.rimkus@amatyc.org). Not all positions have openings at this time, but many will start the next term on January 1.
