Members of the Materials Research Society (MRS) have elected a vice president (who will serve as president in 2021), a secretary, and five directors to join the 2020 MRS Board of Directors. The Board is composed of four elected officers and up to 18 board members, 15 of whom are elected by the membership. A fifth officer (treasurer) is appointed yearly.

The MRS Board of Directors is the highest governing body of MRS, responsible for establishing policy, monitoring progress of the society toward its long-term goals, and setting the strategic directions for the activities of the society, including its meetings, publications, interactions with government agencies, and cooperative efforts with other professional societies.

The officers of the Society are the president (who serves as chair of the Board), the vice president (who is also the president-elect), the secretary, the treasurer (a position appointed by the Board of Directors), and the immediate past president. All members of the Board, except the president, serve on one of six Board Committees: External Relations, Finance, Governance, Nominating, Operational Oversight and Audit, and Planning. Each committee is responsible for formulating policy and strategy issues in their specific areas for full Board consideration.
