    Volume 38, Number 4 NEWSLETTER July–August 2008 President’s Report Dear Colleagues: I am delighted to announce that our new executive director is Maeve Lewis McCarthy. I am very excited about what AWM will be able to accomplish now that she is in place. (For more about Maeve, see the press release on page 7.) Welcome, Maeve! Thanks are due to the search committee for its thought and energy. These were definitely required because we had some fabulous candidates. Thanks also to Murray State University, Professor McCarthy’s home institution, for its coopera- tion as we worked out the details of her employment with AWM. The AWM Executive Committee has voted to give honorary lifetime mem- IN THIS ISSUE berships to our founding presidents, Mary Gray and Alice T. Schafer.

  • President's Report
    Volume 39, Number 2 NEWSLETTER March–April 2009 President’s Report Dear Colleagues: On the occasion of its centennial in 1988, the American Mathematical Soci- ety presented AWM with a handsome silver bowl. This bowl has come to symbol- ize the presidency of AWM, and the tradition has evolved that it is passed from the president to the soon-to-be president at the January joint mathematics meetings. I thank Cathy Kessel for handing over the bowl and presidency to me, for her two years of dedication and leadership as president, and for her shining example of how to polish the bowl. Cathy has generously given of her time to answer my many questions and to explain the intricacies of how AWM functions. I am very grateful to be handed this gift of the presidency. IN THIS ISSUE In my year as president-elect, I have come to realize what a truly unique organization AWM is. With just a few staff members (all employed by AWM 10 AWM at the JMM only part time), AWM thrives because of its volunteers. They are its lifeblood; they enable all the programs, awards, and outreach activities to take place. 20 AWM Essay Contest Nowhere has the spirit of volunteerism been more evident than at the recent joint meetings. A committee of volunteers, Elizabeth Allman, Megan Kerr, Magnhild 21 Book Review Lien, and Gail Ratcliff, selected twenty-four recent Ph.D. recipients and gradu- ate students to participate in the AWM workshop. Their task was difficult, as the 25 Education Column new online application process produced a larger than usual number of excellent 27 Math Teachers’ Circles applicants.
