Who Will Celebrate Our 200th Anniversary? Growing the Next Generation of ASA Members

Abstract

During the next 25 years, the growth and vitality of the American Statistical Association will depend on how well we attract and serve members in emerging areas of practice such as data science, where statistics as a skill set is in high demand but statistics as a profession has low recognition. Successful adaptation to the era of Big Data requires that we broaden our understanding of statistical practice to include the work of all those who learn from data. In order to grow the next generation of members, we must also retain a much higher proportion of today's student members, many of whom leave the ASA upon graduation. By providing value that meets the needs of these groups and equips them to flourish in their organizations, we can become the Big Tent for Statistics.
