MORS Board of Directors

The professional activities of MORS are managed by a Board of Directors of 30 operations research professionals. When vacancies among the 28 elected members of the Board occur, new members are elected by the existing members for a four-year term. Board members are drawn from those who have participated actively in the Society and represent a cross-section of industry and government. There is usually at least one active-duty military officer from each service on the Board. In the intervals between the general meetings of the Board of Directors, an Executive Council, consisting of the President, the President Elect, three elected Vice Presidents, the Secretary, the Immediate Past President and the Chief Executive Officer, meets as required to conduct the affairs of the Society. In order to provide consistent supervision for its operations, the Board of Directors has established a number of standing committees such as: Audit, Education and Professional Development, Ethics and Professional Practice, Heritage, Finance and Management, Membership, Collaboration, Nominating, Prize, Publications, Special Meetings, Strategic Planning and Working Groups/Composite Groups. Additionally, the Board is assisted by ad hoc committees established as the need arises.
