What has changed in the ASA since its 150th anniversary celebration in 1989? Let's step back in time and recall some of the events that occurred in the association that year. Janet Norwood was the new ASA president. The membership count was more than 15,000, with about 2,000 members located in 92 countries outside the United States. The Founders Award to recognize members who had provided distinguished service to the ASA was established, and the first two recipients were Fred Leone (a past executive director) and Margaret Martin (the 1980 ASA president). The first issue of STATS magazine was issued in the spring. The Quality and Productivity Section was established, increasing the number of sections to 11. There were 75 ASA chapters located throughout the United States. The Office of Scientific and Public Affairs was started and its first director was hired. A revision of the ASA constitution was well under way.
