ASA Tagline One Product of 2010 Public Awareness Workgroup

摘要

Capture the essence of the largest and arguably the most diverse statistical association in the world in eight words. That was one of the challenges presented to the 2010 Public Awareness Workgroup at JSM 2009. One year, three surveys, many meetings, hundreds of emails, and thousands of words later, the challenge was met. On July 30, the ASA Board adopted "Promoting the Practice and Profession of Statistics" as the official tagline of the ASA.
