American Mathematical Society is the dominant professional organization for mathematicians working in research-active places, – mostly, departments of mathematics with PhD programs. This is a large organization, counting around 30 thousands members (this includes however folks outside of the US, retirees, and many others). AMS is doing many things that other professional organizations do: it
