I am honored to once again be given the opportunity to contribute to the National Council of Supervisors of Mathematics. In my previous roles as a second vice-president and as NCTM representative, I thoroughly enjoyed working with the Board and the officers of the organization. I look forward to another very positive experience in my editor roles.

I became a supervisor of mathematics for the school district of Philadelphia in 1977. One of the first professional growth opportunities I had in that role was attending the Annual Meetings of NCSM and NCTM in San Diego. I joined NCSM that year at the suggestion of my boss at the time, Alexander Tobin. I have never regretted that decision.
