Dear All,
With the goal of helping students and early-career statisticians, the ASA Committee on Career Development (ASA CCD) and ASA Gives Back 2020 will be hosting a Virtual Guided Networking Session prior to this year's Virtual JSM. This networking social provides an opportunity for students and early career statisticians to practice meeting and greeting in a friendly environment.
To Participate
Student and Young Professionals are encouraged to sign up here! The event is free.
Volunteers
We are seeking mid to late career professionals from all areas (academia, industry, and government) as volunteers to attend the 1.5 hour session, providing students and early career statisticians opportunities to practice virtual networking. JSM 2019's successful event featuring ASA Past-President Sally Morton was featured in Amstat News. This year's event features ASA President-Elect Rob Santos (Urban Institute) along with Dr. Emma Benn (Mount Sinai) and Dr. Karen Price (Eli Lily) and includes focus on Virtual Interviewing and Remote Working.

Volunteer Role: Be "dummies" for students and early career professionals to practice the tips and tricks the main host teaches the students. The more volunteers the better, so students and early career professionals have several people to practice networking with as they "rotate" through the virtual crowd. The event will be July 30 (Thursday) at 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm PDT / 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm EDT. We will send a follow-up emails no later than early July to provide more specifics for the event. No other time commitments are required.
Volunteer Sign Up and draft schedule.
We appreciate last year's volunteers and look forward to this year's volunteer mentors meeting a new batch of ASA's young professionals!
Kind regards,
Dooti Roy and Claire Bowen
ASA Gives Back 2020 and ASA CCD
