If you are not a member, please take a moment to review the
numerous AMATYC activities and publications for members listed
below. You are sure to find a professional development opportunity
with a direct focus on the teaching and learning of mathematics
in the two-year college that will engage you and your colleagues.
- AMATYC offers quality professional development opportunities
including Traveling Workshops, Summer and Winter Institutes,
and a great annual conference each fall.
- The new journal, MathAMATYC Educator, and AMATYC News
provide you with peer-reviewed articles and news from across
the continent as close as your mailbox.
- Through its second standards document, Beyond Crossroads,
AMATYC presents a vision for quality mathematics instruction
in the first two years of college, as well as strategies
for implementation of messages in AMATYC's 1995 Crossroads
document.
- AMATYC committees keep members in touch between conferences.
They provide a forum on a specific area of interest that
allows you to discuss important issues such as assessment,
dual enrollment, placement, and access for all.
- AMATYC provides a voice in the mathematics community through
participation by the President or other members in the Conference
Board of the Mathematical Sciences, Mathematical Science
Education Board.
- AMATYC represents you at the American Association of Community
Colleges by recommending members to serve on AACC commissions
and by sponsoring a booth at their annual conference. Members
who staff the booth talk with your administrators in an
effort to support you.
- The AMATYC Delegate Assembly provides a forum where position
statements are discussed and approved. Position statements
illuminate the beliefs of AMATYC and provide you with support
and direction as you make changes at your college.
The benefits for you, your students, and your colleagues
of membership in AMATYC are many. Please consider this your
personal invitation to join AMATYC. I look forward to meeting
you at the next AMATYC annual conference.
