Call for Nominations: 2025 MSOM Distinguished Fellows Award
Nomination Deadline: March 31, 2025
The MSOM Society of INFORMS is now accepting nominations for the 2025 MSOM Distinguished Fellows Award. Selection as an MSOM Fellow should be considered a rare distinction, comparable with membership in Omega Rho (The Honors Society of INFORMS). Teaching and service contributions are not considered in the selection process.
Nominations are to be submitted electronically to Nicholas Petruzzi (npetruzzi@wisc.edu) by March 31st, 2025.
Please take note of the following two important points:
1. As stipulated in the Fellows founding document, a candidate, who must be an MSOM member, must be nominated by at least two other MSOM society members. The nomination should include letters of support from each nominator.
2. The committee will only consider those candidates nominated this cycle. People who nominated a candidate in some previous cycle should submit their nomination again if they wish the candidate to be considered this cycle.
The Fellow(s) selected this cycle will be announced in the business meeting at the 2025 MSOM Summer Conference to be held at London Business School in June 2025. The Fellow(s) will be invited to make a presentation at the conference.
