<p>1.&nbsp;I will be there; 4. my employer is paying for it, as I bring a good deal of visibility for the company with my presentations and business meetings; 5. I am running for a Program Chair post in one of the largest sections, Survey Research Methods Section, so I will be looking at how things are working from an internal perspective. I am also organizing a mixer of Russian statisticians, and deliver a couple of presentations. If there aren't any other volunteers, I can submit a meeting request on behalf of CV.</p>
