News from the Southern 2 Region
Katey Arrington, Southern 2 Regional Director
Summer 2019
Greetings NCSM Southern 2 Region members and friends,
Thank you to all who attended the NCSM Annual Meeting in San Diego – Southern 2 was well represented! You came from far and wide to make mathematical waves across the nation.
Special Thanks to volunteers and presenters. We couldn’t have pulled off such a major event without your assistance. You made a difference!
Thank you to all of the Southern 2 members who were able to attend the regional caucus. It was a great time to collaborate and connect.
Summer is here, finally. I hope you have plans to relax and rejuvenate. It is well-deserved. Members, if you are looking for something to do, check out the NCSM newsletter for summer reading and learning possibilities. Two new NCSM publications were released at the conference and I am excited to dive right in. Grab yourself a copy.
Relax, but keep your thinking caps on. I know that you know of colleagues who should be nominated for an NCSM award. Start thinking about who you would like to nominate for an award or apply for a grant. Find information about awards and grants at these links:
