The Society is governed by ten elected officers and a policy council. Below are links to our Articles of Organization (which are very hard to change), Bylaws (which can be changed by the members), and Policies (which can be changed by the Policy Council). Also below, are links to the names of the current officers, Policy Council members, and recent minutes.

If you or a colleague are interested in serving as an officer or a member of the Policy Council, or just a volunteer, please fill out and send this form to the Society office at office@systemdynamics.org.

To see the brief biographies of the current slate of candidates to take office on January 1 of next year, please click here.
