Title:	A Multigenerational Conversation among Statisticians

Abstract:	The purpose of this roundtable discussion is to begin a dialogue among statisticians from different career levels. Younger statisticians can describe their experiences/concerns and offer suggestions for programs or projects that would help and support them in their careers. Senior and midlevel statisticians could discuss the changes of recent years and how these changes affect our profession. The principal aims of this discussion are to stimulate and facilitate greater communication among multigenerational statisticians; devise ways to encourage greater input by senior statisticians in addressing statistical, policy, and ethical and moral issues; recommending actions that would be supportive to younger statisticians; and to help statisticians understand their roles and impact in science, medicine, and economics. Possible discussion areas include why we need multigenerational conversations, what their value is to individual statisticians and the profession, and leadership skills that are critical to maintaining the integrity of our profession.
