Sobre nosotros

The Southern California Chapter of the American Statistical Association (SCASA, affectionately pronounced skah- zah) is a non-profit organization established in 1925 to promote collaboration within the community of statisticians around Southern California area, and to contribute to statistical education within the professional community and the general public. By its efforts, the Chapter hopes to increase the contribution of Statistics to human welfare everywhere.

SCASA organizes four standing events per year:
Kick-off in October-November,
Career Day in February-March,
Applied Statistics Workshop in March-April,
and AP Stat Poster Competition in May-June.

The membership in SCASA is open to all individuals in all fields related to Statistics. The SCASA members have the benefit of being actively involved in organizing local events and activities, and, if also members of the national American Statistical Association, the SCASA members will have the right to vote and hold a SCASA office. Regular membership dues are $12 per year, and $6 for full-time students and retirees. More details on the SCASA membership benefits can be found in Article III of the SCASA Constitution.

The SCASA members are eternally grateful to organizations that sponsor some of the events or contribute books and goodies to give out as door prizes. Our biggest supporter today include Cross Campus LA, LA Counts and Electric Coin Company. Some of the main and most faithful supporters in the previous years include Amgen, SAS, JMP, Salford Systems, and CRC Press.
