    Dear INFORMS Members:

    We are excited to share with you that the panelists for the INFORMS 2018 Government & Analytics Summit have been selected by our consultants at the Signal Group.

    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
