4 Speaking of COCGB positions In the spring of 2023, 4 COCGB positions will be voted on, to start formal service in 2024: Chair-elect, Districts 1 and 2 Vice-chairs, COCGB Rep on the ASA Board (from District 1 or 2) Current Chair-elect Mimi Kim is the head of the nominations committee for the above, which meets this fall. The committee members can only serve for 2 consecutive years, so current nomination committee members from Districts 1, 2, 4, 5, and 6 will need to be replaced in 2023. Mimi Kim will also appoint a new secretary by the end of 2022 to serve in 2023 (and possibly beyond) So, if you have ideas for individuals for good candidates for any of the above (including the nomination committee members), please let Mimi Kim know AYEC. Also, Julia Sharp and Jeff Dawson will be involved in nominations for ASA leadership positions, so if you have suggestions for ASA-level positions, please let us know. 4

20 Comments This is the first time we are really using the chapter app as the basis for chapter status discussions There are obvious tweaks that should be made to the app, and known corrections Comments are welcome Due to complications that often happen around Jan 1 (turnover in chapter leadership, people on vacation, etc.), we will be moving up the deadline for the 2022 annual reports to ~Dec 15. (But we do need to update the form first, so only put in 2021 info at this time.) 20

Why do we (ASA) care? 26 OUTREACH 1800+ Students from arounds the world majority % from US We (ASA) are the only special awards organization that judges ALL of the projects
Why do we judge? Outreach! 27
I am very grateful for the award. Your support has contributed to furthering my interest in pursuing science and technology to the highest levels. I am currently a freshman at Rice University in Houston, Texas pursuing a degree in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering with a focus in bioengineering. I also received admission into Princeton University, Johns Hopkins University, and the California Institute of Technology. If possible, I would like to remain in touch with the American Statistical Association and any other scientific bodies, especially if there are research and networking opportunities available for college students. 28
Thank you for the recognition and the book! I received "Comparing Groups [Randomization and Bootstrap Methods Using R]" in the mail today, and I'm really ecstatic to go through it. I'll be starting at Yale University this fall as a prospective Psychology major; so this book will be immensely helpful! I cannot thank the judges enough. 29
Thank you so much for providing such a variety of books! Definitely going to add some of them to my list of books to read!Again, I really appreciate that the ASA would like to give me such an opportunity and reward for what I did in my project. Your special award and the offer of a book truly really encourages me to study the world of statistics further and find more sophisticated applications of it. Numerous people throughout the making of my project has mentioned to me how important statistics is to scientific studies--and I'm so glad that I was able to use statistics to a certain degree in my project as recognized by the ASA. My sincere and many thanks." 30
Email from 2021 student who scored in top 100 Won 3rd place in 2022 Good morning, I'm thrilled to share that I'm going to present a new project at ISEF 2022! After the amazing experience I had last year, I am looking forward to going through the entire process again. The book on biostatistics you sent me almost a year ago helped me a ton while designing and executing my project; it also made me realize how important it is to apply the appropriate statistical techniques in order to be confident in the research process. Now that I have a much better understanding of statistics, it almost feels like a superpower that can streamline otherwise-messy biological data. This experience with stats is going to be extremely useful for me throughout my research career I want to thank you, and the ASA more broadly, for helping me develop my skills. Sincerely Rushank 31
