Dear Colleagues,
For those of you attending JMM this year in Washington, DC, please consider signing up for the congressional visits day being organized by the American Mathematical Society: https://jointmathematicsmeetings.org/meetings/national/jmm2026/hill-visits. As described on their website,
On Thursday, January 8, 2026, mathematical professional societies are joining together on Capitol Hill for a unique opportunity to meet with congressional offices and communicate the importance of the mathematical sciences! All JMM attendees are invited to participate - no prior experience needed. You'll receive training, briefing materials, and group meeting assignments to ensure you are prepared and feel confident.
The ASA is a proud supporter of the effort.
Best,
Steve
