AMS Buddy Program
The AMS Buddy Program is designed to extend a warm and hearty welcome to new members or those attending the AMS Annual Meeting for the first time. The program does this by pairing new attendees with experienced members of the Society to help break some of the formal “ice” and demystify the meeting in both the social and professional realm. The AMS Buddy Program meet-up is scheduled for Thursday, 9 November 2023, 1:00-2:00pm MT. The AMS Buddy Program is only open to AMS members.

Those interested in registering for the Buddy Program should consult the applicable guidelines, either the guidelines for mentees or the guidelines for mentors. Members of the AMS Committee on Career–Related Issues (CCRI) help organize and serve as hosts for the AMS Buddy Program.
