The Annual Meeting Oversight Committee (AMOC) provides oversight for the aligned IARS, AUA and SOCCA Annual Meetings. The AMOC is a fast-paced committee responsible for the planning and execution of the IARS Annual Meeting and other educational opportunities throughout the year.

Members of the AMOC are a subset of the IARS Board of Trustees, with the exception of the Early-Stage Anesthesiology Scholars (eSAS) representative(s). The AMOC term is one year and members can be reappointed. The IARS Board of Trustees Chair assigns Board Members to serve on the AMOC each year and may request that AMOC members retain their positions from the previous year.
