The Officers and Executive Committee are the governing body of the Materials Science and Technology Division (MSTD). Elections are held annually prior to the ANS Annual Meeting, and are conducted by ballots mailed to all Division members by ANS-National. All terms begin and end with the ANS Annual Meeting, typically held in June. The Vice-Chair and Secretary/Treasurer are elected annually and serve one-year terms. The Vice-Chair is also the Chair-Elect, and assumes the position of Chair for a one-year term after completing the term as Vice-Chair. Similarly as part of succession planning, the Secretary/Treasurer is to become the Vice-Chair after completing a one-year term. The Executive Committee members are elected in groups of at least five for three-year terms.
