The eight active committees rely on the committed participation of members to achieve the AAMC's mission and strategic goals for the year. Members serve on AAMC committees which preside over association governance, development, annual conferences, and prizes. The AAMC President appoints Committee chairs in consultation with the Executive Director and the Executive & Nominating Committee. Once selected, the Committee chairs recruit committee members who possess an area of expertise appropriate to the focus of the committee's work. The first two Committees (Executive & Nominating and Finance & Audit) are staffed by the Board of Trustees whereas the following six are drawn from the full membership of the AAMC .

Additionally, ad hoc committees can be created by the Executive & Nominating Commitee and/or Board of Directors in order to oversee a special project that has a specific timeline. Committees are instrumental to AAMC governance and growth of ideas. They manage ongoing projects and may introduce initiatives that will strengthen the position of the AAMC. The board is, however, the final supervisor of each committee’s activities.
