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.
