Greetings to all CTCTM members!

It is hard to believe how quickly the summer went by.  I hope that you found some time to rest and relax and have some fun with your family.   

As I take over the reigns of the CTCTM presidency, I want to take a moment and express my gratitude to Dr. Rachelle Meyer for the great job she did as our president the last two years.  Her leadership has allowed our organization to blossom into the organization we are today.  I hope that during my tenure I can continue to lead us in a positive direction.

I also want to say a huge thank-you to my Executive Board, presenters, Region 12, and all attendees for helping to make our spring conference such a success.  I felt like our sessions went very well and the organization from our Executive Board, along with Dr. Meyer’s leadership, made the day flow very smoothly.   Our organization is blessed with many people who have great talents and put in long hours to make great things happen.  

For this year, we are planning some great professional development opportunities that will have something for everyone.  For our fall meeting, we are privileged to have Dr. Edward Burger, the Robert Foster Cherry award winner, as our keynote speaker. You will want to make plans to attend and hear this dynamic and exceptional teacher. To learn more about Dr. Burger, please visit his website:  http://www.williams.edu/go/math/eburger/.

I hope that you are off to a great start this year.  If CTCTM can be of assistance to you, please don’t hesitate to let us know.  Until then, we will see you at the fall meeting.

Mark Montgomery
CTCTM President
