a) Consult the Guidelines for ASA Fellow Nominations for detailed instructions on how to complete this form. Copies of the Guidelines and electronic versions of
this form may be obtained from the ASA website: http://www.amstat.org/awards/index.html. With the exception of supporting letters and (optional but highly
recommended) CV, all nomination material must be entered in the appropriate location on this form. Nominations that exceed the space limitations WILL
be returned. A well-prepared nomination is essential. Your presentation and the supporting materials and letters must convince the ASA Committee on Fellows
that election to the grade of Fellow is among the most deserving of those nominated. The Committee cannot be expected to be personally aware of the total
contributions and specific accomplishments of the nominees. In the absence of sufficiently strong documentation of candidate’s accomplishments the Committee
must elect candidates with stronger documentation.
The complete Nomination Package must be received no later than Monday, March 3, 2008. Nomination packages will not be accepted after this date. Use
a separate form for each nominee. Send one original of this form and supporting documents, printed on one side of the paper, together with 10 copies,
printed on both sides, so they can be distributed to the Committee members. Send to the American Statistical Association, attention Carole A. Sutton, Liaison
for the Committee on Fellows, 732 North Washington Street, Virginia 22314-3415. New Fellows will be announced at the 2008 Annual Meeting in Denver,
Colorado.
b) Only a person who has been a full member of the Association for the prior three years is eligible for election as a Fellow. The nominee MUST be a current
member of ASA, with continuous membership from 1 March 2005 - 28 February 2008 and not already a Fellow. Fellowship status can be verified by checking the
ASA Web page Fellow listing: http://www.amstat.org/fellowslist.cfm. Carole Sutton at ASA can verify membership via e-mail, at Carole@amstat.org, by phone at
(703) 684-1221, ext. 1862 or by fax at (703) 684-6456.
c) Attach supporting letters from people well qualified to judge the importance of the nominee’s contributions to statistics. List each letter writer’s name and
affiliation, and whether or not he or she is a member or fellow of ASA. Four to six letters are recommended, with a maximum of six. Use of this form no longer
requires a cover letter. Any letter sent by the nominator will be counted as one of the supporting letters. The guidelines for submitting nominations indicate
clearly that letters of support (copies or faxes of letters are acceptable) should be sent to the Nominator who is responsible for including the support letters
1
in the nomination package. Supporting letters send to the ASA office independently of the nomination package are NOT guaranteed to be reviewed by the
Committee on Fellows.
