Tools for Section Officers
- Committee
on
Sections. The Committee on Sections of the MAA is the primary
medium for exchange of information between the national organization
and its sections, as well as between the sections themselves. It
facilitates section activities when called upon, helps in constructing
and revising section bylaws, and plans an annual Section Officers
Meeting, which is held during the summer meeting of the Association. If
you have any questions, you should contact Nancy Hagelgans, chair of the
Committee on Sections.

Section Officers. This contains additional section
information such as annual report summaries, membership demographics,
