KCTM Conference Awards Banquet

Each year, KCTM recognizes outstanding individuals in Mathematics Education Service and Achievement at what was formerly called the MESA Banquet. In 2009, it was renamedthe KCTM Conference Awards Banquet due to the fact that many award winners are recognized now each year on this very special evening. Last evening, MESA, PAEMST, and KCTM Grant awards were recognized.
