The Council of Chapters hosts a workshop for Chapter officers at JSM each year. This year the workshop is focused on isolated statisticians (statisticians who are the only ones of 1, 2, or 3 in their company, department, etc.).
I am seeking volunteers who are (or have been) 'isolated' statistical consultants to speak to the group on Tuesday, August 8th at 3 PM Central/4 PM Eastern. The workshop details are copied below.
If you are interested in providing your perspective or contributing to the workshop, please email me at jwick@kumc.edu.
Thank you,
Jo Wick
