Discussion of Goals
Update
<March> Based on the last meeting "Christy suggested we hold a working session to identify the emerging technologies and methods and share our findings with the Council of Chapters.
Keith suggested we use social media sites like LinkedIn to identify opportunities and methods."
Let's discuss next steps towards these goals.
<February> Let's continue to discuss the charge and our bigger goals within this group. How would you like to contribute this year? What would you see as a "successful" contribution against these goals?
Charge 1: 1. Promote forums showcasing relevant technologies and emerging methods benefiting applied stats.
Charge 2: 2. Facilitate recognition of applied stat within various fields of application
Charge 3: Coordinate with other ASA groups/units to ensure attention to the needs, priorities and career paths of applied stats
Charge 4: 4. Increase awareness and promote careers in applied stats
