To all NCSM members, check email for your ballot. And your absolute first choice for Second Vice President should be Amber Candela!

Amber is thoughtful, hardworking, and well connected with many schools and teachers. She would be a valuable addition to the #NCSM Board! #MathEd

This will give Dave a pretty good look at the green, but I still think there is only a 50% chance he will get it in 2.

And at least we'll all be on one thread!
