Members of the Materials Research Society (MRS) have elected a vice president (who will serve as president in 2022) and four directors to join the 2021 MRS Board of Directors. The Board is composed of the officers of the Society and 12 to 21 directors, 25% of whom may be appointed. The exact number shall be set by resolution of the Board of Directors.

The MRS Board of Directors is the highest governing body of MRS, responsible for establishing policy, monitoring progress of the Society toward its long-term goals, and setting the strategic directions for the activities of the Society, including its meetings, publications, interactions with government agencies, and cooperative efforts with other professional societies.

MRS directors are elected for three-year terms. The president-elect serves three years (as president-elect, president, and past president); the secretary is elected for a three-year term; and the treasurer is appointed for an initial one-year term, which may be extended for two additional years (to complete a three-year term) with Board approval. Members of the Board may serve on one of the Board's committees (Executive, Finance and Audit, Governance), Board task forces, or other ad hoc efforts commissioned by the Board.

Terms of office expire at the end of the year indicated in parentheses. The asterisk (*) designates those who are newly elected. The annual election ended August 27, 2020.
