I would like to bring to your attention four events being organised at the Joint Statistical Meeting this year. Three of these events are round-table discussions jointly organised by Statistics Without Borders and the Friends of Australasia (two Outreach Groups of the ASA), and one being the annual general meeting of the Friends of Australasia. I would particularly like to draw your attention to the round-table discussion being organised by Justin Fisher, which would be an invaluable session for anyone preparing to do any work on the ground in a developing nation (whether this be a Statistics Without Borders visit or otherwise).
I look forward to hearing from you if you have any questions about these events.
