If you want to volunteer with TMS, the best place to start is by joining a TMS technical committee. A complete list of TMS technical committees can be found in the Divisions & Committees section of this site.
TMS is a Society of great volunteer and staff enthusiasm, aspiration, and innovation. Volunteers and staff have many ideas for new initiatives and projects. Not all ideas can be pursued, however, as resources that are available beyond the support required for the Society’s many existing commitments are limited. Therefore, the Society employs the rigor of its governance structure and staff analysis to determine how to deploy available resources to the greatest common good and broadest positive impact. Completing this PDF form is the first step toward activating such analysis.
