INFORMS Open Forum

Good morning,

Please join me in congratulating INFORMS Executive Director Elena Gerstmann on becoming Chair of the Council of Engineering and Scientific Society Executives (CESSE). CESSE is a professional association of chief executive officers and mid- to senior-level leaders from STEM societies, all committed to advancing leadership excellence. Many of us on the INFORMS staff are CESSE members, and the organization serves as an invaluable resource as we work to strengthen and advance our own mission-and, in turn, ensure that INFORMS remains a world-class organization for our members.

Here's a link to CESSE's announcement about Elena and the rest of the organization's board:
