Congratulations on joining INFORMS, the premier organization for analytics. INFORMS has several publications on analytics, the most important being Analytics Magazine. I think it's free, and I'm not sure how you get on the notification list. There are also several interest groups that stage Zoom talks on the INFORMS platform; find those and there is a lot to listen to that is very well done research. It will open your eyes to some of the issues on the forefront of analytics.
If you can ever attend a meeting it's great and will give you some networking possibilities. I think there is a chapter somewhere in NY state, perhaps Buffalo?
Welcome to INFORMS!

Subject: I am New Here!
Hello everyone,
My name is Timothy Ashun, and I am currently pursuing an MBA in Business Analytics. I was introduced to INFORMS during a course in Operations Research, which sparked my interest in the field and motivated me to explore opportunities for professional growth.
Since my institution does not currently have an INFORMS chapter, I am eager to connect with and participate in existing chapters to further develop my knowledge and skills.
I am here to learn, contribute, and grow, and I look forward to engaging with this community, building meaningful connections, and gaining guidance from experienced professionals and mentors.
Thank you.
