Committees 

Our committees run the society. If you want greater input into how we do things, please volunteer. If you want to take on work outside of the daily grind of coding and meeting minutes, we could be that forum. We will find a way for your commitments to fit around your day job and to find a role that suits your interests.

The committees are charged with running our annual conference and regular scientific meetings, journal club, webinars and training courses; with coordinating industry-wide responses to regulatory issues; with promoting the value of statistics to students, the industry and the public; and with running our academic publications and the member communications that make the society a community.
