Election News: Candidates' Statements - California Mathematics ...

near my family and childhood community when I was awarded a teaching position at Santa Rosa Junior
College in 1994. I have also worked at Napa Valley College, College of Marin and Chabot College.
I began volunteering for CMC 3 in about 1985. I am not sure when exactly I did what but I was the person
in charge of equipment for speakers, CMC liaison and worked for a number of years as the membership
chair among other jobs. I also acted as a delegate at AMATYC and have spoken at many conferences and
schools over the past thirty years. I have more recently been a Vice Chair, Chair and Program Chair for
the MAA Golden Section and was the Site Manager for the recent very successful MAA Golden Section
General Meeting that was held on the Santa Rosa Junior College Campus.
I took a hiatus from my duties with CMC 3 during the years in which I was most busy with my daughter’s
activities. Now that Daphne is off to college, she needs less everyday attention and I would like to
become more involved with the CMC 3 Board again and help with the wonderful conferences that are put
on by that board. Also, I would like to help represent Santa Rosa Junior College. I believe that talks at
CMC 3 conferences should include mathematics content as well as pedagogy. Thank you for your
consideration.
At-Large Steve Blasberg, West Valley College
As a long-time member of the CMC^3 Board, I feel that by serving another term as an At-Large Member, I
can bring many positives to the Board, among them, institutional memory and long experience with CMC^3.
In addition, as an active member of several other mathematical organizations (I currently hold the position of
Test Developer with AMATYC, and I am past chair of the AIME Subcommittee of the MAA), I can represent
both the viewpoint of CMC^3 within other organizations and other organizations' viewpoints within CMC^3. I
hope that you will see fit to reelect me to the CMC^3 Board.
