Teaching excellence is at the heart of the two-year college mission and our profession. I urge you to honor an AMATYC member who demonstrates excellence in this critical role. It is through the recognition of our best practitioners that we emphasize the importance of our profession and the professional goals to which we all aspire.

Please take the time now to honor a colleague with your nomination. The nomination deadline is December 6, 2010.
