The Nationwide Center for Advanced Customer Insights (NCACI) was selected as the recipient of the 2011 Statistical Partnerships among Academe, Industry and Government (SPAIG) Award from the American Statistical Association (ASA).

Please join us in congratulating Tom Bishop and Paul Ballew and everyone else associated with the NCACI, both those from Nationwide and the faculty and graduate students from the Department of Statistics, for their selection as the recipient of this year's prestigious 2011 SPAIG Award from the ASA. This award has been given annually since 2002 to recognize outstanding partnerships established between academe and business, industry and government organizations and to promote new partnerships. The SPAIG Award differs from other ASA awards, since it recognizes organizations instead of individuals.
