The Section will strive to collaborate with industry partners for the mutual benefit of exchanging knowledge and expertise and to bring awareness to the Chapter of the use of statistics and data science in these areas.
The Section consists of a Chair and a committee. The composition of the current Committee is below:

Section on Statistical Education
The American Statistical Association (ASA) Section on Statistical Education states "
This section is broadly interested in the effective use of education as a means of improving the quality of existing applications of statistics and increasing the use of statistics in those areas of study where it offers the most efficient procedure for attacking unsolved problems".
The Orange County/Long Beach Chapter Section on Statistical Education has been formed to offer an opportunity for Chapter members and others who share an interest in statistical education to interact with one another regarding this topic. Within the Chapter Section, Special Interest Groups (SIGs) will be formed to facilitate activities within a more focused topic area and thereby better serve the needs and interests of subgroups of statisticians and teachers of statistics in the Orange County/Long Beach area.
Special Interest Groups:
Teaching Statistics in High Schools
Teaching Statistics in Community Colleges
Teaching Statistics in Liberal Arts Colleges/Universities
