As a mathematics educator and leader for the past 41 years, I have looked to participate in the National Council of Supervisors of Mathematics (NCSM) Annual Conference whenever possible. I have encouraged many colleagues to become members and not miss out on the networking, academies, seminars, tools, and documents available to support our work. Each year, the program has grown to include new expert leaders in our field. With the goal to continue my professional growth, explore new research, and promote mathematics education, I look forward to the work as Conference Coordinator for the 45th in Denver (2013, the 46th in New Orleans (2014), and the 47th in Boston (2015). Collaborating with colleagues and finding ways to meet the high expectations of all NCSM members proves to be a rewarding experience that I hope to share with our members.

As a new leader for mathematics education, I joined NCSM. The annual conferences, leadership academies, and many resources afforded me the opportunity to learn from many experts and publications in our field that guided my work with teachers and emerging leaders. It is a powerful network of people who know how to make a difference for education in mathematics with a national focus. Leaders from around the country and the world are members of NCSM and participate in the conferences, academies, and seminars. They are highly respected and involved in research, textbook and article writing, and training of current and future leaders. As we all grow in our leadership skills, we can influence mathematics education for the future.
