Committees of SIAM

SIAM has a number of committees and boards that report to various entities within SIAM. The typical term on a SIAM committee is three years. In the interest of encouraging diverse participation more than two consecutive terms on a given committee are discouraged, except under unusual circumstances. The following is a list of those committees.

Submit recommendations for General SIAM Committees and the SIAM Representatives to National and Joint Committees.
