About the COPSS-NISS Leadership Webinar Series
Once again COPSS (Committee of the Presidents of Statistical Societies) and NISS are partnering to organize and host a new webinar series - this time focusing on leadership in statistics and data science. Plan to attend these webinars on the 4th Tuesday of every month during the academic year!
The COPSS-NISS Leadership Webinar Series is co-organized by the Committee of the Presidents of Statistical Societies (COPSS) Emerging Leaders in Statistics and the National Institute of Statistical Sciences (NISS). The purpose of the webinar series is to promote leadership skills for members of the statistical societies at any stage in their careers. The series features conversations with leaders throughout the discipline, including leaders from major academic and government institutions, and companies. Invited speakers share their leadership stories and answer questions about their experiences. Each webinar is moderated by a member of the COPSS Emerging Leaders in Statistics program.
