As March 1st, I am serving as the (Interim) SIAM Vice President for Publications. The previous Vice President for Publications, Howard Elman, is stepping down just a few months before the end of his second term for personal reasons. I will serve out the remainder of his term.
The Vice President for Publications is an officer of SIAM. As such, I will serve as a member of the Council and a (non-voting) member of the Board of Trustees.
SIAM has an extremely robust and healthy publications program. SIAM publishes 18 applied mathematics journals and is launching another very soon. SIAM also publishes upwards of 20 books a year. I will work closely with the SIAM staff and many volunteers involved, including the SIAM Journal Committee, the SIAM Journal Editors-in-Chief, and the SIAM Book Committee.
