AMD is the largest of the six divisions in the ASME Basic Engineering Technical Group.
The responsibility for guiding the Division, within the framework of the ASME, is vested in an executive committee of five members.
Each member serves a term of five years, beginning and ending at the conclusion of the Summer Meeting, spending one year in each of the following positions: New members of the executive committee are sought from the entire membership of the Division.
Due considerations are given to leadership, technical accomplishment, as well as diversity in geographic locations, sub-disciplines, and genders.
At the Winter Annual Meeting each year, the executive committee nominates one new member, who is subsequently appointed by the ASME Council.
The Recording Secretary serves a term of two years and is selected from the junior members (i.e. young investigators) of the AMD.
The principal approach for a Technical Committee to accomplish this mission is to organize symposia at the Summer and Winter Meetings.
