ASA Connect

Is there someone in your career history who has been a significant and ongoing mentor to you?  Has someone encouraged and challenged you, offered just the right questions to help you make important career decisions?  As you think back over your career, is there someone who you would like recognized for their many contributions to your success?  Has this person provided the same kind of support, guidance and encouragement to others?  

If so, consider nominating them for the ASA's annual Mentoring Award.  Established in 2015, with the first awards given in 2016, the award is bestowed upon an ASA member who has "demonstrated extraordinary leadership in developing the careers of statistics students, statisticians, or statistical researchers early in their careers". The award honors people recognized by their colleagues for their sustained efforts over a long period supporting the work and developing the careers of statisticians.  

Nominations are due by March 1, and the award will be presented at the Joint Statistical Meetings this summer.  Send a letter of nomination outlining the reasons why the nominee deserves to be selected to awards@amstat.org. Additional supporting letters are encouraged.
