I am a survey statistician and have been working at Statistics Finland for more than 30 years, mostly within statistical methodology. The duties also led me to consider quality management issues as quality reporting is one part of our engagement. I have participated in the ESS Working Group on Quality since its establishment in 1998, however, in recent years, mostly following its activities. Similarly I have been a member of the Programme Committees of the ESS Conferences on quality in official statistics since 2006, and in 2010 I acted as the co-chair of the Q2010 ESS Conference in Quality, held in Helsinki. Furthermore, I have been one of the instructors of the ESTP Introductory course in quality management since 2007. I hold elected membership of the International Statistical Institute (ISI) since 2001 and the International Association of Surveys Statisticians (IASS) since 1990.
