Statistics is a diverse profession, with statisticians working in areas such as health care, manufacturing, defense, and national security, to name just a few. Each area may make use of different methodologies and applications. To aid our members working in these subdisciplines, the ASA created sections and interest groups, which are subject-area and/or industry-related and provide benefits specific to their members’ interests.
Learn more about the benefits of joining sections and interest groups from these informational slides.
