Title: The Statistical Society of Australia National Speaker Series
Abstract: The Statistical Society of Australia will trial a National Speaker Series this year. Each state will organise one meeting a month which will be available online to members Australia-wide. In this talk I will outline the proposed program and look for feedback from members on how to co-ordinate an SA speaker program to complement the national series.
