The ASA's 62 new fellows were honored August 11 during the Joint Statistical Meetings in Seattle, Washington. The new fellows are from 24 U.S. states, the District of Columbia, and six other countries. Fellows are recognized for outstanding professional contributions to and leadership in statistical science. See the Amstat News October issue for a list of the new ASA fellows. ASA fellows are recognized for their accomplishments. To be honored, nominees must have established a reputation in the profession and made outstanding contributions to statistical science. The Committee on Fellows evaluates candidates' contributions to the advancement of statistical science-requiring evidence of their innovation, leadership, and impact-and their contributions to the profession and society at large. Under ASA bylaws, the Committee on Fellows can elect up to one-third of one percent of the membership as fellows each year.
