Despite the distractions of the RSS merger debate, services remained unaffected across all the various subcommittees for what has been another busy year for PSI. Please take a few minutes to review the reports from the subcommittees that illustrate the impressive breadth of activities covered in 2016 and join me in giving our Mark Morris thanks to all our volunteers for what has been another successful year for PSI. Glancing at the Treasurer’s report you will see that the past year has been very good for the PSI coffers. The calculated risk of holding the Conference in Berlin certainly paid off, with a record- breaking number of delegates attending, which in turn put PSI’s finances back in a healthy state. Awards The Mick Godley Award is given every year to an unsung hero in one of the PSI committees, in memory of Mick Godley, one of the early stalwarts of PSI in the earlier years with the recipient receiving free attendance at a conference of their choice. The recipient in 2016 was Aaron Dane for his leadership of the subgroup initiative. The RSS/PSI Award for Statistical Excellence in the Pharmaceutical Industry continues to establish itself as a prestigious award with the number of entrants growing every year. This year’s worthy winner was Richard Nixon of Novartis for his work entitled ‘Enhancing decision-making in drug development and using quantitative approaches’. Honorary Membership It was with great pleasure that I had the privilege to award Leslie France with a much-deserved honorary award due to many years of service to PSI. Leslie joins a select group that includes: Jorgen Seldrup, Mick Godley, Andy Grieve, David Morgan, Alan Ebbutt, John Lewis, Steven Senn, James Roger and Alan Phillips. On behalf of the PSI Board of Directors, Mark Morris Chair, Statisticians in the Pharmaceutical Industry 3 | P a g e PSI VOLUNTEERS PSI relies on the contributions of our volunteers, without whom there would be no events and no opportunities to share our ideas with our colleagues or the external world.
