The Detroit Chapter of the American Statistical Association (DCASA) holds several Chapter meetings each year. They are now scheduling speakers for Fall 2012, and would like to ask you to consider giving a presentation on a statistical topic of your choice. The Fall dates are September 11, October 9, and November 13.

These meetings usually start at 6:15 PM, with the speaker's presentation at 6:30 PM. Of recent, they have been webcasting these meetings (including the speaker's presentation) from 2 sites: One Ford Place near Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, and Oakland University in Rochester. So the presenter now has 2 venues to choose from.

Please contact Lance Heilbrun (heilbrun@xxxxxxxxxxxx) if you would like to be a speaker at a DCASA meeting this Fall, and on which date.

More information about DCASA can be found at http://www.amstat.org/chapters/detroit/frames.html.
