Technical Committees
The mission of a Technical Committee is to promote a field in Applied Mechanics. The principal approach for a Technical Committee to accomplish this mission is to organize symposia at the Summer and Winter Meetings. Technical Committees generally meet at the Winter Annual Meeting and the Summer Meeting; they may also schedule special meetings.
There are 17 Technical Committees in the Applied Mechanics Division.
Technical Committees are established and dissolved by the Executive Committee.

Famous quotes containing the words technical and/or committees:
“Woman is the future of man. That means that the world which was once formed in man’s image will now be transformed to the image of woman. The more technical and mechanical, cold and metallic it becomes, the more it will need the kind of warmth that only the woman can give it. If we want to save the world, we must adapt to the woman, let ourselves be led by the woman, let ourselves be penetrated by the Ewigweiblich, the eternally feminine!”
—Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
“A committee is organic rather than mechanical in its nature: it is not a structure but a plant. It takes root and grows, it flowers, wilts, and dies, scattering the seed from which other committees will bloom in their turn.”
—C. Northcote Parkinson (1909–1993)
