The Outstanding Service Award honors individuals whose sustained dedication and leadership have made a lasting impact on mathematics education and the FTYCMA community. Recipients exemplify excellence not only through effective pedagogy and strong support for student success, but also through their advocacy for mathematics education and their commitment to advancing the profession.
Nominations for the Outstanding Services award are accepted in December of even years. The winner of the Teaching Excellence Award is announced at the Annual Business meeting of odd years and celebrated at the Fall Retreat in odd years.
The deadline for submission of the next Outstanding Service Award is December 11, 2026. Please e-mail the form to Megan Cavanah at cavanahm@LSSC.edu.
