Young Statisticians Committee

Goals

• Advise the ISI Executive Committee on:
  • how to encourage young statisticians to join ISI, and what values and benefits should be developed and offered,

Goals

• Keep track of contact information.
• Recruit new members to the network.
• Discuss and compile needs at country or regional level.
• Identify opportunities for activities that will benefit the region/country.
