Council of Sections Board Representative 2011
Aparna V. Huzurbazar
I am honored to have the opportunity to serve as Council of Sections Governing Board Representative to the ASA Board of Directors. Throughout my career, I have served the ASA and wider statistical community at the international, national, and local levels. ASA sections are a core piece of our organization, representing subdisciplines within statistics that include both subject areas and industry groups. ASA sections communicate with the Council of Sections Governing Board through the Council of Sections. This is an important function in the organization, and I would work to effectively communicate information between the Board of Directors and the sections.
