aim to bring more persons from underrepresented backgrounds into some portion of the pipeline beginning at the undergraduate level and leading to advanced degrees in mathematics and professional success, or retain... them once in the pipeline;
have achieved documentable success in doing so; and
are potentially replicable models.

About this Prize

This award brings recognition to outstanding programs that have successfully addressed the issues of underrepresented groups in mathematics. Examples of such groups include racial and ethnic minorities, women, low-income students, and first-generation college students.

One program is selected each year by a Selection Committee appointed by the AMS President and is awarded US$1,000 provided by the Mark Green and Kathryn Kert Green Fund for Inclusion and Diversity.

Preference is given to programs with significant participation by underrepresented minorities. Note that programs aimed at pre-college students are eligible only if there is a significant component of the program benefiting individuals from underrepresented groups at or beyond the undergraduate level. Nomination of one's own institution or program, in permitted and encouraged.

Nomination Procedure:

The letter of nomination should describe the specific program being nominated and the achievements that make the program an outstanding success. It should include clear and current evidence of that success. A strong nomination typically includes a description of the program's activities and goals, a brief history of the program, evidence of its effectiveness, and statements from participants about its impact. The letter of nomination should not exceed two pages, with supporting documentation not to exceed three more pages. Up to three supporting letters may be included in addition to these five pages. Nomination of the writer's own institution or program is permitted. Non-winning nominations will automatically be reconsidered for the award for the next two years

SUBMISSION

Nominations for entry into the 2024 class of Fellows of the AMS will be accepted from February 1, 2023, through March 31, 2023.

Please establish a login as a nominator at the nomination site [Note: this is not your normal AMS login. It is a MathPrograms.org login]. You may need to return to the form at a later date, so save your login information. It is not necessary to complete all portions of the nomination at once; you may log in multiple times to continue the work or make changes. After March 31, the nomination period will be closed and no further changes can be made.

Members may want to fill out the top portion, wait for confirmation of the membership status, and then proceed with the complete application. Such confirmation will come via email to the Nominator within two to three business days. Please contact the AMS (see below) if you have not received confirmation within this time period. It is the Nominator's responsibility to make sure the application is completed by the deadline; no extensions may be granted. Please note that AMS member codes are not required but will expedite the process of checking memberships. Current (2023) memberships will be checked for the Nominee, Nominator, and for each Supporting Member; Nominators will be notified about any qualification problems.

CONFIRMATION BY SUPPORTING MEMBERS

The selection committee has noted that the efforts of the three supporters of a nomination to write short effective statements can make a big difference in the chances of success for a nomination.

The three Supporting Members named on the application will receive an email verification form (generated automatically when the Nominator submits the nomination form). Please mark the "email" box next to each Supporting Member name when you are ready to have that email sent, and SUBMIT the whole screen. Supporting Members will then use the instructions in that email to confirm their support and also provide a sentence or two (1000 character limit, no special characters) why they are supporting this nomination. After the Supporting Member completes that step, the Nominator will be able to log in to the nomination screen and see a purple date of submission below the name of that Supporting Member. If necessary, Supporting Members can be emailed again through a button on that screen.

SELECTION

By submitting the nomination, you are nominating the individual ("Nominee") to become a Fellow of the AMS in the current round. This is a competitive process which may or may not result in the Nominee becoming a Fellow.

The 2024 class of Fellows will be chosen by the AMS Selection Committee, comprised of 12 members of the AMS who are also Fellows.

Invitations to become a Fellow of the AMS will be issued to those selected in early September. Any person who is nominated and is not selected a Fellow will remain an active nominee to be considered by the Selection Committee for possible selection for a further two years. In either case, the nominator will be notified on November 1 when the new list is made public.

Further Information is available here.

The Chevalley Prize is awarded for notable work in Lie Theory published during the preceding six years; a recipient should be at most twenty-five years past the Ph.D. About this Prize The Chevalley Prize was established in 2014 by George Lusztig to honor Claude Chevalley (1909-1984). Chevalley was a founding member of the Bourbaki group. He made fundamental contributions to class field theory, algebraic geometry, and group theory. His three-volume The Chevalley Prize is awarded for notable work in Lie Theory published during the preceding six years; a recipient should be at most twenty-five years past the Ph.D.

About this Prize

The Chevalley Prize was established in 2014 by George Lusztig to honor Claude Chevalley (1909-1984). Chevalley was a founding member of the Bourbaki group. He made fundamental contributions to class field theory, algebraic geometry, and group theory. His three-volume treatise on Lie groups served as standard reference for many decades. His classification of semisimple groups over an arbitrary algebraically closed field provides a link between Lie's Theory of Continuous Groups and the Theory of Finite Groups, to the enormous enrichment of both subjects.

The current prize amount is US$8000, awarded in even-numbered years, without restriction on society membership, citizenship, or venue of publication.

POSITION

The American Mathematical Society is seeking applications and nominations of candidates for the post of Associate Secretary of the Eastern Section.

The Council will appoint the Associate Secretary to a two-year term, beginning on February 1, 2025 and ending on January 31, 2027. Reappointments are possible and desirable. All necessary expenses incurred by an Associate Secretary in performance of duties for the Society are reimbursed, including travel and communications. Each Associate Secretary may request additional financial support for their work. The nature of this support is flexible and can change year to year. It could be, for example, in the form of release time, administrative support, or a stipend.

QUALIFICATIONS

The AMS strives to serve all mathematicians in an inclusive, equitable, and welcoming fashion. We welcome applications from mathematicians having experience with and/or enthusiasm for organizing scientific meetings.

We are seeking a diverse pool of candidates with strong mathematical research experience, broad mathematical interests, and a commitment to serving, growing, and showcasing a diverse community.

DUTIES

AMS Associate Secretaries play key roles in creating the scientific programs of AMS meetings, as well as providing essential input to several AMS committees.
• Each is responsible for two sectional meetings per year in their respective geographic section. This includes overall responsibility for the scientific program, as well as the responsibility of arranging host institutions and guiding local organizers.
• Once every four years an Associate Secretary has primary responsibility for the scientific program at the January Joint Mathematics Meetings.
• The AMS conducts an active international joint meeting program, and Associate Secretaries are involved in these meetings on a rotating basis.
• Associate Secretaries are supported by, and work closely with, the AMS Department of Meetings and Conferences.
• An Associate Secretary is an officer of the Society, a member of the AMS Council, and a member of the Secretariat—a committee consisting of the four Associate Secretaries and the Secretary, which has considerable responsibility and authority in the direction of the AMS meetings program.

APPLICATIONS & NOMINATIONS

Associate Secretaries are appointed by the Council upon recommendation by the Executive Committee and Board of Trustees.

Please submit your application—including a brief CV and names of three references—through www.MathPrograms.org.
