  1. MAA Highlights 2019 Pam Wovchko West Virginia Wesleyan College Allegheny Mountain Section Representative to the MAA

  2. The mission of the Mathematical Association of America is to advance the understanding of mathematics and its impact on our world.

  3. MAA’s New Vision We envision a society that values the power and beauty of mathematics and fully realizes its potential to promote human flourishing.

  4. MAA MathFest Cincinnati, OH, July 31 - Aug. 3 maa.org/2019speakers MAA Invited Address Solving Algebraic Equations Irena Swanson Earle Raymond Hedrick Lecture Series Complex Dynamics and Elliptic Curves Laura DeMarco NAM David Harold Blackwell Lecture Dudeney’s No Three-In-Line Problem: Problem, Solutions, Conditions, Progress, and Conjectures Johnny L.

  5. MAA American Mathematics Competitions (AMC) The MAA AMC are a series of examinations that build problem-solving skills and mathematical knowledge in middle and high school students. Connect with local math students by hosting the MAA AMC at your college or university. Visitmaa.org/amcto find out how your campus can host a competition for future math majors.

  6. New Member Benefits Take advantage of your new MAA member benefits! maa.org/newbenefits & mathvalues.org Sign up with an exclusive MAA member rate MAA Video Library

  7. Meeting the Future: MAA & Joint Mathematics Meetings (JMM) The MAA and the AMS have shared management, as well as contributed equally to the programming, of JMM under an agreement that has been in place since 1998. Through extensive discussions over the last 5 years, AMS and MAA have agreed that the 1998 agreement no longer meets the needs of either organization and will end following the Joint Mathematics Meetings in 2021. The current business/management model for the meeting results in a loss of approximately $300,000/year to MAA, with AMS absorbing an even greater cost. While this represents a service to the mathematical sciences community, the MAA Board determined that it is not sustainable. Learn more in the Oct./Nov. issue of MAA FOCUS newsmagazine Beginning in 2022, MAA national meeting activities will occur at MAA MathFest in the summer. The MAA will build on the continued growth of MAA MathFest and will also direct resources to better support MAA Sections at meetings like this and other programs that expand access and services to more members. • We want to hear from you!
