This quote by Johanna Siguroardottir, former prime minister of Iceland, captures the motivation for the new American Statistical Association Pride Scholarship and Pride Month Celebration. As stated in the ASA Statement on Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion, we recognize our mission, "can be realized only by fully embracing justice, equity, diversity, and inclusiviry in all of our operations. Individuals embody many traits, so the leadership will work with the members of the ASA to create and sustain responsive, flourishing, and safe environments that support individual needs, stimulate intellectual growth, and promote professional advancement for all." The creation of the ASA Pride Scholarship is one action demonstrating the ASA's commitment to this stated goal.
