The American Statistical Association is honored to grant the esteemed Founders Award to five individuals this year for demonstrating exceptional dedication to advancing the mission of the association. The association is also bestowing its prestigious distinction of Fellow on 46 members for their professional contributions, leadership, and commitment to the field of statistical science.

Founders will have served the association for an extended time, usually in a variety of leadership roles wherein effective service or leadership was provided within the ASA or through ASA outreach. A Founder’s contributions will have had significant impact on the association beyond the time of their incumbency.

The designation of ASA Fellow has been a significant honor for nearly 100 years. Under ASA bylaws, the Committee on Fellows can elect up to one-third of one percent of the total association membership as fellows each year.
