“The ASA is immensely important in promoting our profession and in providing opportunities for its members.”

Russell Lenth—another active ASA member who has taken leadership roles in section, journal, chapter, and committee activities—said, “The ASA is immensely important in promoting our profession and in providing opportunities for its members. Making a financial contribution is one small way of giving back for all that I have received.”

The 2009 contributions were used to support several important programs, including:

• Meeting Within a Meeting (MWM): A program to reach out and provide training and tools for K–12 teachers
• Review of educational standards: ASA staff are increasingly called upon to comment on and arrange for volunteers to offer advice about curricular standards at the state and national levels
• StatFest: A program to encourage minority college students to pursue a statistics career
• Production of “Statistical Significance”: A developing series of one-page informational brochures highlighting the importance of statistics to a rich variety of fields

The ASA leadership hopes this campaign will grow in 2010 with an expanded solicitation list and continued contributions. To acknowledge and thank all of the 2009 donors, a list of those donors is provided below.
