Abstract:
|
Several years ago, the ASA considered certification but chose not to institute a certification program. Since then, three other statistical societies have successfully implemented accreditation programs. The ASA Task Force on Accreditation, reviewed these three programs and conducted focus groups and surveys of ASA members. Based on the interest expressed in the focus groups and survey, the Task Force recommendation to the ASA Board was the establishment of an ASA Committee to develop the basic structure of an accreditation program and present that to the Board for its consideration. This panelist led the Task Force on Accreditation and will discuss the work of the task force and its recommendations and the progress of the Committee on Accreditation.
