The Biometrics Section held its annual business committee meeting at this year's Joint Statistical Meetings (JSM), during which they shared conference updates and announced the winners of several section awards. JSM 2014 Program Chair Jonathan Schildcrout told attendees potential applicants were contacted to give invited sessions in machine learning, Big Data, outcome-dependent follow-up, and semi-competing risk model. Applications in other areas are welcome. Council on Sections Representative Page Moore reported that JSM attendance was -5,700. New this year were speed talks/electronic posters. With the increasing number of sessions, exploring more of these types of presentations and fewer invited orals is needed.
