From the Editor
As we move into faces many challenges, including the need to increase membership, provide more services to members and encourage members to take a more active roll in the affairs of the Council.
Because Alberta Education and school boards decreased professional development funding, members will have to assume more responsibility for their own P.D. activities.
The executive encourages members in all parts of the province to organize mathematics workshops and seminars. MCATA is willing to provide financial and personnel help. All you have to do is ask.
Help with our publications would really be appreciated. Tentatively, newsletters will be published in’ October, December, February, April and June, and journals will be published in December and March. I am sure that you have teaching ideas, or resources which you could describe, that would be of interest to the members. Please share them.
You can look forward to receiving a special publication this school year that will provide a history of MCATA since its inception over 30 years ago. It should prove to be an interesting document. By the way, if you have any interesting memories that you would like to have included in the special issue, we would like to have them.
I encourage you to attend the “Changing Directions” conference in Edmonton on October 20-22. It will be excellent. All we need is you to make it a success.
It is not too early to star1 to plan to attend the NCTM annual conference to be held in Boston on April 6-9, 1995. Like all NCTM annual conferences, this should provide a great professional and social experience.
Remember your MCATA executive are all busy people and give up much of their free time to serve. Please help in every way you can to make their work easier and to make MCATA an exciting and viable council. •
