Welcome to the New AMS Executive Director. Professor Donald E. McClure of Brown University has been named Executive Director of the American Mathematical Society. The appointment was approved January 4, 2009, by the AMS Council. McClure succeeds Dr. John H. Ewing, who has held the post for the past 13 years and who is now president of Math for America, a program that aims to attract mathematically talented young people to teach in the nation's schools.

Deadline for the 2009 SIAM Workshop Application has been extended to 12:00am, Eastern time, January 19, 2009. Letters of recommendation will be accepted until 12:00am, Eastern time, Wednesday January 21, 2009.

New book surveys early women PhD’s in math. More than 14 percent of the PhD's awarded in the United States during the first four decades of the twentieth century went to women, a proportion not achieved again until the 1980s. Pioneering Women in American Mathematics: The Pre-1940 PhD's is the result of a study in which the authors identified all of the American women who earned PhD's in mathematics before 1940.

Extended biographies and bibliographical information are available from the companion website for the book: www.ams.org/bookpages/hmath-34
