The Conference on Statistical Practice Steering Committee implemented a mentoring program in 2014 for 30 pairs of mentors and mentees and then refined, improved, and expanded it for the 2015 CSP. Combined with what has been learned from a similar mentoring program at the 2014 JSM and two mentoring programs in 2013 and 2014 sponsored by the ASA Committee on Applied Statisticians, the ASA is poised to scale up its efforts to promote mentoring within the statistics community.
