Time sure has passed rapidly during my time as the President of NCSM. I hope this issue of the eNews finds everyone well. This year's Annual conference is titled Shining the Light on Learning: A Vision for Mathematics Leaders. Never has there been a more aptly named conference for our organization. With so many issues facing mathematics educators to in regards to curriculum, instruction, and assessment, NCSM has an opportunity to be part of the conversation regarding the future of each of these critical aspects to student learning and achievement. 

It has been a wonderful opportunity for me to serve as your president these past couple of years and I look forward to continuing my work in the mathematics education leadership community when I am done. For now, I would like to see everyone in Boston in April!

Lastly, look for an eNews at the end of each month leading up to the Annual Conference. Each monthly eNews has a signature sponsor that serve as vital partners in our organization. This month's sponsor is Carnegie Learning. To learn more about Carnegie Learning, simply click on their add on the eNews and you will be directed to their web page.

Thank you and I hope to see you in Boston.

Valerie L. Mills

President, NCSM
