    Dear Section Members,

    The ASA JEDI Outreach Group and Statistical Consulting Section are hosting a free joint quarterly webinar series on Navigating Difficult Conversations and Empowering Colleagues. We're inviting you to the first interactive webinar focusing on Student Practitioners.

    Statistical practitioners, especially students, face difficult conversations in their interactions with their clients and collaborators. The topics of these conversations vary widely. There are no universal guidelines for navigating tough conversations. In this workshop, we engage with participants to effectively communicate with clients and customers when challenging topics or situations arise. 

    Whether you're a student, recent graduate, or an experienced practitioner, we would love for you to join with questions for our experienced instructors or with strategies that you've found useful.

    Date/Time: Wednesday, February 5, 2025 from 1:00 – 2:30 pm EST (10 – 11:30 am PST)

    Register at: https://ucdenver.zoom.us/meeting/register/oaz2mkz0ToKP747JrzURbw

    Instructors:

    • Emily Griffith, Professor of Practice, Dept of Statistics at NC State
    • Julia Sharp, Acting Statistical Engineering Division Chief at NIST
    • Zachary Weller, Statistical Data Scientist at GTI Energy

    Finally, I want to extend a special thank you to the seminar series "co-Chairs" who have been instrumental in developing this webinar and the upcoming series: 

    • Suneeta Godbole, PhD (Candidate), University of Colorado – Anschutz Medical Campus, Colorado School of Public Health
    • Amanda Koepke, PhD, National Institute of Standards and Technology

    Please feel free to share this announcement and/or the attached flyer to get the word out (especially to current students). 

    Thank you!

    Ryan Peterson

    ASA CNSL Section Chair-Elect (and current Activity Chair)

    Unfortunately, I have a conflict at that time. Will this webinar be recorded? Perhaps even posted to Dr Sharp's youtube channel?

    Hi Daniel,

    Great question and thanks for your interest. While we like to record webinars and post them to our Section YouTube page, in this instance, the instructors are planning to have breakout rooms and an interactive google doc, which will render it difficult to record and it might reduce the participation in the discussion groups. Therefore, this webinar will not be recorded. 

    Please note though that we will have additional webinars as a part of this same series later this year, so hopefully you will be able to participate in a later one.  

    Best,

    Ryan
