Message from the Director: Federal education policies, changing demographics, budget constraints, and shortage of mathematics teachers are but a few of the challenges currently facing mathematics leaders. There are reasons for excitement as well-advances in technology, school-based research, reform efforts, and the public focus on mathematics. Leaders must articulate their vision to all constituencies while managing the challenges and excitement of this time. NCSM must do the same with its membership and the broader mathematics community. I have the experience and expertise to support and enhance the work of NCSM and would be honored to have such an opportunity.
