AWM Survey on Childcare Needs at the
Joint Mathematics Meetings

The results for this survey were discussed at the AWM activities at the January 2004 Joint Mathematics Meetings and in the AWM Newsletter. Thanks to everyone who participated for their survey submissions and comments.

The Association for Women in Mathematics is investigating the feasibility of on site child care at the Joint Mathematics Meetings. It is essential for us first to obtain a better idea of the demand for such services. If you are interested in on site childcare, please return your survey, preferably by December 1, either:
