Dear ASA members,
The 2020 Joint Statistical Meetings will be held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania from August 1 – August 6, 2020. The theme of the JSM 2020 meetings is Everyone Counts: Data for the Public Good.
The Business and Economic Statistics Section is soliciting proposals for invited sessions. Details about how to organize and submit proposals are available at https://ww2.amstat.org/meetings/jsm/2020/invitedsessions.cfm. The deadline for submitting proposals is September 5, 2019 at 11:59 p.m. ET.
To submit an invited session proposal, you will need the following:

There are a limited number of invited sessions and the selection process will be competitive. As 2020 Program Chair for the B&E section, I will do my best to ensure B&E themed sessions are selected for the JSM 2020 program. Please feel free to contact me (Mariana Saenz;
