Robert Lussier discusses the end of his term as 2009 chair of the ASA Government Statistics Section and reports on the projects the section is putting together for 2010.

Three sections plan for JSM 2010.

On the afternoon of June 17, Kevin Cecco of the Internal Revenue Service and Lillian Lin of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention were presented with the Jeanne E. Griffith Mentoring Award in the conference center of the Bureau of Labor Statistics. This year marked the first time in the award’s seven-year history that two winners were chosen, as well as the first time the ASA’s Government Statistics Section oversaw the award selection process. The audience of approximately 60 attendees comprised colleagues, family, and friends of Jeanne Griffith and both awardees, as well as the members of the award selection committee and Interagency Council on Statistical Policy.
