ASA Members Give Despite Trying Times
Amanda Malloy, ASA Director of Development
We all know what 2020 was like. It affected each of us in different ways. Many of us became proficient at video calls and even learned cool new tricks like using virtual backgrounds and studio features. (Did you know you can add virtual lipstick or a mustache to yourself during a Zoom call?) We learned to socialize while being socially distant, do our jobs remotely—either isolated or vying for space with other members of the household—and how to “smile with our eyes” since the rest of our faces were covered.
Despite all the difficulty and adjustments, ASA members came together to raise nearly $224,000 in support of ASA programs. Thank you to each of the 932 individuals who donated. Every. Dollar. Matters.
It has perhaps never been more important to:
- Provide resources and training to K–12 teachers so they can show their students how fun and important statistics is in daily life.
- Advocate for our federal statistical agencies, the statistics profession, and statisticians and data scientists around the world. We must make sure our government is making decisions based on sound data.
- Provide workshops and other resources to the media to help them learn how to report on stories that include data and statistics.
- Cultivate the next generation of leaders in statistics and data science through scholarships, professional development, and mentoring opportunities.
Your donations go a long way in making these initiatives possible.
Thank you to Helen Walker Society members, who have demonstrated their commitment to the practice and profession of statistics through annual donations of $1,000 or more.
