Delaware Chapter, ASA
Evening Business Meeting: October 2005
As a local Chapter of the American Statistical Association we need to address the needs of our community. If you are interested in identifying ways to make our chapter better and more responsive to your needs, consider attending a Chapter brainstorming meeting concerning revitalizing the Delaware Chapter.
In the past few years we have had a drop off of active membership in the Chapter, although we have had more paid memberships through ASA. In order to continue as a Chapter, we need to find individuals willing to participate as elected officers from a broader representation of our statistical community.
