Assembly is the highest legislative body of the AMS and includes representatives from all constituent faculty societies and AMS Senior Management.

The Assembly Scribe collaborates with the Secretary of Internal Affairs and the Assembly Speaker to produce a set of comprehensive minutes of each Assembly meeting, keeping in mind the deadline to publish the minutes is 10 business days following each meeting. 

The Assembly Speaker is the chair of Assembly meetings and works with the Secretary of Internal affairs to ensure that assembly is following rules of order.
