Abstract:
|
This panel session will highlight the major contributions that Statistics Without Borders(SWB)has made to multiple non-profit organizations in the last 10 years, as well as its volunteer members. Panel members will engage in a conversation about the impact SWB has had on the non-profit organizations that it has helped. Following, one panel member will make a brief presentation on the benefits derived by SWB volunteers. Next, a second panel member will discuss how SWB has benefited the American Statistical Association. Video presentations from two clients illustrating the benefits SWB has provided will be shown. A discussion regarding the need many non-profit organizations have for free statistical help will round out this panel session. We will close this session with questions from the moderator and the audience.
