who have skills needed by business and industry, and who will
continue to educate themselves;
- Lead the development and implementation of curricular, pedagogical,
and assessment standards for two-year college mathematics education;
- Assist in the preparation and continuing professional development
of a competent and diverse mathematics faculty skilled in a variety
of teaching and learning techniques;
- Serve as a network for communication, policy determination,
and action among faculty, affiliates, and other professional organizations;
