NZSA Honours
The NZSA recognizes
contributions to the New Zealand statistical community through the Campbell
Award and Life Membership of the Association. The NZSA hosts distinguished
overseas statisticians as Visiting Lecturers. The Executive has been
considering a proposal to institute the honour of a Fellowship of the NZSA.
Campbell Award
The purpose of the award is to promote statistics within NZ and to recognise
an individual's contribution to the promotion and development of statistics.
Life Membership
Honorary Life Membership honours persons with a
long and distinguished record of service to the Association.
Visiting
Lecturer
The New Zealand Statistical Association coordinates and provides some
financial support for a tour of New Zealand universities by a distinguished
overseas statistician.
Fellowship Proposal
Consideration of the proposal to institute the honour of a Fellowship of the
NZSA has currently been deferred until other honours are operating smoothly.
