Welcome to the first MathPOW! newsletter. Each newsletter will share upcoming events and one resource for your outreach program. The goal is to provide a quick resource as opposed to a long read. The newsletter will be sent via Google Group, an introduction email to Google Groups will be sent right after this email so check your mail client for more details.
Please email me if you have items to add to the newsletter or topics/questions you’d like me to address in future newsletters.
My goal is to create a regional network that provides shared resources, training, and overall support to leaders of mathematical outreach and enrichment programs.
Ultimately this group should provide:
To get started I am writing a grant to host a joint outreach workshop to be hosted at Central Washington. Ideally this grant will provide travel funds to bring everyone to Central and run a weekend long event that will provide training on running and growing your outreach program. I’d like this event to become a regular gathering where we training faculty and graduate students who are interested in doing math outreach. Experienced outreach leaders would be a welcome addition in providing mentorship to these new programs and would also have opportunities to do focused grant writing to support their program.
I could use your support with letters of commitment, I will more details about this in the next newsletter. I would also appreciate if you continue to share resources, news, ideas, and successes with the group. Stay in touch!

With that, thank you for your support of outreach, education and enrichment!
