Dr. Jennifer Bay Williams
Interim Associate Dean for Academic Affairs and Accreditation, University of Louisville
Dr. Bay-Williams is an internationally respected mathematics educator. She is a prolific author and popular speaker on topics related to effective mathematics teaching. Her work has focused on ways to ensure every student understands mathematics and develops a positive mathematics identity (i.e., feels they can do math!). Her most recent work has focused on fluency in mathematics, communicating that it is more than learning facts and algorithms, but is about being able to reason and choose appropriate strategies. Her books on fluency and on mathematics coaching are best sellers, as is her book Elementary and Middle School Mathematics: Teaching Developmentally.
Dr. Catlin Tucker
Educator, International Trainer, Keynote Speaker, and Bestselling Author
Dr. Catlin R. Tucker is a best-selling author, keynote speaker, international trainer, and professor in the Masters in the Arts of Teaching Program at Pepperdine University. She taught for 16 years in Sonoma County, where she was named Teacher of the Year in 2010.

Dr. Jenée Myers Twitchell
Chief Impact and Policy Officer, Washington STEM
Dr. Myers Twitchell grew up in Yakima and was the first person in her family to go to college. When she got to UW she and a few of her peers created a curriculum to solve problems around inequities in the education system. Today, that curriculum is known as the Dream Project. At Washington STEM she uses the data analyzation skills she learned working in the Dream Project to track the progression of Washington STEM’s initiatives.
