to present at our annual conference, sign up to be a SCCTM Ambassador, volunteer to chair one of our
committees or support at the conference, or accept a nomination to become an officer of SCCTM. Please
know that everything you do has the potential to encourage, empower, or elevate other mathematics
educators in our state.

It gives me great joy to experience the continued successes of SCCTM over the last few years. We
remain committed to the mission of SCCTM as we act to support quality mathematics teaching by
advocating at the state level for SC educators and students, providing opportunities for leadership,
professional development, and networking, and encouraging the creation of research-based curriculum,
instruction, and assessment. Over the next year, we will seek opportunities to increase exposure to state-
level professional development opportunities and to increase networking opportunities for members.

Special thanks to all of our members, the SCDE, and sponsors for helping to develop a professional
community of support for all mathematics educators. Thank you, all, for your continued commitment and
support of SCCTM and the work that we will continue to do for mathematics educators in SC.

Educationally Yours,
Eugene Bellamy, Jr., President
