Abstract:
|
This is the second of two presentations that will provide a brief chronological record of the American Statistical Association (ASA) from its modest beginnings in Boston in 1839 to its present status as a worldwide professional organization with approximately 19,000 members and a headquarters in Alexandria, Virginia. Both presentations will emphasize the past 30 years of the Association. Together they will impart information about the ASA, including its leadership; its chapters, sections, and committees; and the services provided by the Association, such as meetings, publications, membership services, education, accreditation, and advocacy.
