ASA Networking Dinners

Please see an announcement below from OOW Chair, Lisa Keister:

OOW members,

We have a relatively recent tradition of organizing dinners at ASA that we have called networking dinners. The purpose has been to provide opportunities for members of various ranks to meet outside the normal meeting.

I am having trouble gauging interest in continuing these.

Would we like to continue this tradition? If so, are you willing to do the organizing?

Organizing them is a great way to contribute to the section, and I understand that it is not overly-onerous. Of course, there is no requirement that we continue doing this. If I do not have a volunteer, we can take a year off and reconsider the idea for the Montreal meeting.

Please send your thoughts to me at lkeister@soc.duke.edu.

Cheers,

Lisa A. Keister
