From the Editor
You have recently received a form asking for nominations for MCA TA table officer positions. Consider this request seriously. It would be a nice change to have an election; it puts the current executive in a very awkward position, always having to appoint people to these positions.
There are many among you who would make excellent table officers. Please nominate them. Being on the executive is an excellent opportunity to become acquainted with influential people in the area of mathematics in the province, and keeps you abreast of what is going on in the field of mathematics. It is a great experience.
We are frequently looking for people to serve as directors. Being a director is an excellent introduction to the workings of MCA TA. If you are interested in serving as a director, let a member of the executive know.
We really do need your help.
