PRESIDENT (2011)
Amanda L. Golbeck
School of Public and Community Health Sciences
University of Montana
“I like biostatistics, leadership, research, mentoring, zumba, snowshoeing, fooding, and traveling. I am a tenured professor of biostatistics in the School of Public and Community Health Sciences at the University of Montana, and I am a Fellow of the American Statistical Association. I joined the Caucus because it has a long and productive history of advancing women in statistics. I like the Caucus because the women in the Caucus are totally awesome, and I am so honored to know them!”

PRESIDENT ELECT (2012)
J. Lynn Palmer
The University of Texas MD
Anderson Cancer Center
“I like running, the outdoors, travel, cats, and Thai food. I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Biostatistics at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center and I work primarily on clinical trials including studies in integrative medicine. I like that the Caucus is an open organization based on outreach to women statisticians. I’d like to help in focusing its new direction (post Cox Run) and working with the fabulous women in the Caucus. The Caucus made a difference in my life when I was much younger and has a great potential to make big differences in the future.”

PAST PRESIDENT (2010)
Jennifer Parker
“I have worked at the National Center for Health Statistics for over 15 years. Currently, I am the Branch Chief of the Special Projects Branch; one of our primary activities is linking the NCHS population health surveys with administrative records for health and health care research. The Caucus has provided a opportunity to meet wonderful women, with a wide variety of activities and interests, working in diverse areas of statistics. I hope to continue to contribute to the Caucus as its focus evolves with new generations of women statisticians. At home, I try to keep up with my music lessons, a weekly yoga class, our cats and dog, and our college and post-college age children.”
