Similar to the ASA, itself, the broad objective of a chapter is to promote statistics and its applications. ASA chapters are designed to increase the unity and effectiveness of all those individuals within a geographical radius. Like all other branches of the ASA, the Council of Chapters relies on volunteers to serve and welcomes participation. In addition to serving in your local chapter, consider service at a national level by running for election to the Council of Chapters Governing Board.
