    Membership Tip of the Week: How does my student chapter find a speaker?  

    If your student chapter would like an INFORMS member to do a virtual presentation for your group, simply log into connect.informs.org and under the Directory drop down menu along the top of the page, click on Speaker Directory. From there, search the list of speakers by discipline areas, topics, etc... Once you find a speaker that is of interest to you, click on their Speaker Profile button and you can send them a message right through Connect. In your email, tell them: 

    • you'd like them to speak for your INFORMS Student Chapter 

    • the topic you'd like them to speak on 

    • the length of time you'd like them to speak  

    • when you'd like them to speak (give them a few different options)   

    If you don't hear back from them within 5 business days, feel free to reach out to Jill Capello at jcapello@informs.org for assistance.  

    Membership Tip of the Week is a series of INFORMS Connect posts in which staff share quick bits of information to help you make the most of your membership.
