American Mathematical Association of Two-Year Colleges

What American Mathematical Association of Two-Year Colleges does

The American Mathematical Association of Two-Year Colleges (AMATYC) is a nonprofit professional association founded in 1974 and headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee. It operates as the only national membership organization dedicated exclusively to mathematics education during the first two years of college, serving individual faculty, mathematics departments at two-year colleges, and - via its student sub-brands - the community-college students themselves. Its mission centers on professional development, advocacy, and community-building for two-year college mathematics educators.

AMATYC delivers its value through a portfolio of programs: the annual conference (approximately 1,250 attendees including department-level decision-makers), the MathAMATYC Educator journal (three issues per year), the AMATYC Standards trilogy (Crossroads, Beyond Crossroads, IMPACT and IMPACT Live!), the Student Mathematics League (8,000+ students across 165+ colleges in 35+ states plus Bermuda), the Student Research League, the Two-Year College DataFest, Project ACCCESS (a two-year new-faculty fellowship now in its 21st cohort), a recurring webinar program (2026 series sponsored by McGraw-Hill), and the AMATYC Awards program. Technology infrastructure consists of a myAMATYC member portal, Brynk-powered membership platform, dedicated iOS and Android mobile applications, and Zoom-based webinars with archived YouTube content. The organization is governed by an Executive Board and Delegate Assembly, supported by 50+ regional affiliates.

Revenue is generated through a mix of individual and institutional membership dues, conference registration fees, exhibitor and sponsorship fees from corporate partners (Hawkes Learning, McGraw-Hill, Pearson, Wiley), print advertising in the journal and conference program, donations and endowed funds managed by the AMATYC Foundation, and small grants (up to $750) funded by the foundation. Membership pricing and detailed financials are not publicly disclosed. The organization maintains a strategic partnership with the American Statistical Association through the ASA/AMATYC Joint Committee, which supports statistics and data-science pedagogy at two-year colleges.

Broad incumbents

• American Association of Physics Teachers (AAPT): AAPT is a long-established STEM-discipline professional association for physics educators with journals, conferences, and grants comparable in operational model. It is a broader-incumbent peer operating in an adjacent STEM education discipline with similar membership and publication economics.
• American Chemical Society (ACS): ACS is a large scientific professional society with peer-reviewed journals, national meetings, awards, and education divisions, comparable in scale and operational complexity to AMATYC but in chemistry. It serves as a broader-incumbent peer demonstrating the larger-discipline professional association model.

Direct peers

• League for Innovation in the Community College: The League is a community college-focused organization providing conferences, publications, and leadership programs for two-year colleges. It is directly comparable as a community-college association with overlapping professional development programming and conference operations.
• American Mathematical Society (AMS): AMS is a major US professional association for mathematics with journals, meetings, fellowships, and advocacy across the mathematical sciences. It is directly comparable as a math-focused professional society with similar membership, publication, and conference revenue streams.
• National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM): NCTM is the largest US mathematics education organization, focused primarily on K-12 teachers but with overlapping standards, journal publications, and annual conference programming. It is a close peer in mission and operational model, though serving a different educational segment.
• Mathematical Association of America (MAA): The MAA is the premier US professional association for collegiate mathematics, including an active Project NExT new-faculty development program that inspired AMATYC's Project ACCCESS. It serves a broader mathematical community (including four-year institutions) but overlaps materially with AMATYC's faculty development and conference mission.
• American Statistical Association (ASA): ASA is AMATYC's formal partner through the ASA/AMATYC Joint Committee, delivering statistics education programming to two-year college faculty. It is a directly comparable professional association model serving adjacent quantitative disciplines with similar membership, publication, and conference mechanics.
• American Association of Community Colleges (AACC): AACC is the principal national association representing community colleges broadly, including governance, advocacy, and workforce programming. It is directly comparable as a membership-based association serving two-year institutions, of which AMATYC's math faculty members are a subset.

Regional players

• Academic Senate for California Community Colleges (ASCCC): ASCCC is the faculty governance body for California community colleges, with analogous professional development, advocacy, and conference programming but limited to a single state. It is a regional peer that shares the community-college faculty development mission within a more constrained geography.

Others

• Sigma Xi, The Scientific Research Honor Society: Sigma Xi is a long-standing scientific professional society with membership dues, publications, awards, and chapter-based affiliate structure analogous to AMATYC's regional affiliate network. It is a thematically related peer showcasing the broader professional-association operating model rather than direct competition.
