JSM Bound
As the ASA membership gears up for JSM 2012, those planning to attend the annual meetings must decide which sessions to attend and which activities to undertake. There are many to choose from, but the keynote addresses are special. Each speaker was chosen specifically for his or her vast knowledge of statistics and dedicated work in the field. Here, we introduce these speakers and hope you will consider attending their addresses.
