Special Interest Groups of the MAA (SIGMAAs)
SIGMAAs are Special Interest Groups of the MAA. SIGMAAs will be hosting a number of activities, sessions, and guest lectures. There are currently twelve such focus groups in the MAA offering members opportunities to interact, not only at meetings, but throughout the year, via newsletters and email-based communications. For more information visit http://www.maa.org/sigmaa/.
