The MAA is an autonomous association governed by a volunteer Board of Directors, elected by the Members at the Annual General Meeting. The Board determines the policies, programs and budgets of the MAA. View our current Board of Directors.
The MAA relies on donations and bequests from members for funding. We do not charge a membership fee - although a contribution from all new members as they join the ranks is most welcome!
The MAA has established endowments that have been invested to generate revenue, which help fund our programs. The MAA has its own fundraising appeals and collects donations from members who wish to support MAA programs. There are no membership fees. Our independence allows the Board of Directors to make policy decisions independent from the university and its funding priorities.
