In addition to our Keynote Speakers, Secretary Anthony Foxx and General Michael Hayden, the Summit will feature the following panels and panelists:
Healthcare
Jim Bagian, University of Michigan
Sommer Gentry, U.S. Naval Academy
Eva Lee, Georgia Tech
Julie Swann, N.C. State
Moderator: Don Kleinmuntz
Transportation
Saif Benjaafar, University of Minnesota

We were fortunate to have many nominations and would have liked to have more opportunities to participate in the Summit. Moving forward there will be other opportunities to support INFORMS' advocacy activities. We look forward to the chance to involve even more members as we work to help make sure policymakers in Washington better understand and appreciate how they can leverage O.R. and Analytics to help save lives, save money and solve problems.
Sincerely,
Laura Albert
