Latin@s and Hispanics in the Mathematical Sciences Poster This poster shows thirty-one Latinas, Latinos, and His- panics in different areas of the mathematical sciences and points to the Lathisms.org website, where readers can explore the research, inspiring lives, and mentoring contributions of the individuals. Annette Emerson and Mike Breen AMS Public Awareness Officers [email protected] “News from the Road” AMS Director of Development, Robin Marek, often meets with mathematics scholars and industry professionals in planned visits around the country. During 2016 Robin met one-on-one or in small groups with mathematicians and related professionals in Arizona (Glendale, Mesa, Phoenix, Tempe, Tucson), New Mexico (Albuquerque, Las Cru- ces, Los Alamos, Santa Fe), New York City, North Carolina (Burlington, Carrboro, Chapel Hill, Davidson, Durham, Greensboro, Mooresville, Raleigh), Omaha, and Philadelphia. In her meetings with over seventy people she learned first-hand about the needs of mathematics professionals in these regions and the efficacy of AMS programs for them. She also gath- ered feedback and ideas for new ways the Society might serve and advocate for the mathematics community and reported these suggestions and invaluable information to appropriate AMS directors, staff, and governance. If you would like to have Robin come to a discussion in your area, please contact her at [email protected]. Deaths of AMS Members Clarence M. Ablow, of Tustin, California, died on Febru- ary 9, 2016.
