Reaching 20k

摘要

The American Statistical Association is a strong, vibrant organization with approximately 18,000 members and the largest community of statisticians in the world. In the April issue, the ASA was described as a "big tent" organization with room for growth. The goal of the Committee on Membership Retention and Recruitment (CMRR) is to help the ASA reach 20,000 members by its 175th anniversary in Boston in 2014. To meet this goal, we are working diligently to identify viable ways to increase the number of student members who renew as regular members after they graduate and increase recruiting in areas where statisticians have a growing professional presence.
