Hello everyone,
The deadline to submit Expressions of Interest for the open Board positions is this Thursday, January 15th.
As mentioned prior, there are six open Board positions for the 2027 INFORMS Board of Directors.:
· President-Elect (3-year term – President-Elect, President and Immediate Past-President)
· Treasurer
· Vice President - Education
· Vice President - Meetings
· Vice President - Publications
· Vice President - Technology Strategy or Vice President - Emerging Fields & Technologies*
*The title and scope of the Vice President – Technology Strategy position may be changing. The INFORMS Board of Directors will decide by January 30, 2026, whether the role will remain as currently defined or shift to the proposed Vice President – Emerging Fields & Technologies. You can read more about the scope of each version on the nominations page. Because of this timing, we are accepting nominations that indicate interest in either version of the position, with the understanding that only one will be open.
The position of Vice President of Sections and Societies for 2027 is filled through an election by the Subdivisions Council.

This page also includes the link to express your interest in being considered for a Board position. If you would like to nominate someone else, you may share the nominations page link with them, or you may email me and I will be happy to send them the information.
The election is planned for August/September 2026 with the positions commencing on January 1, 2027.
