The National Association of Mathematicians

The National Association of Mathematicians (NAM), a non-profit professional organization, has always had as its main objectives, the promotion of excellence in the mathematical sciences and the promotion of the mathematical development of underrepresented American minorities. It also aims to address the issue of the serious under-representation of minorities in the workforce of mathematical scientists. The organization achieves its goals by focusing on five areas:

• Mathematics Education
• Professional/Career Development
• Scholarly Productivity
• Student Development
• Databases

Although the majority of NAM members consist of members of under-represented groups of American minorities, a significant number of members represent a cross-section of the mathematical sciences community. Membership is open to all.
