Message from the Section Chair

I hope this message finds you safe and well during this incredibly challenging time!

 

It is sad to see that our summer conferences are all canceled. But our section’s award nomination and selection processes are still running. Please find attached a list of call for nominations/submissions. As INFORMS is on for sure, we will announce the winners during the INFORMS online or offline.

 

Stay healthy and well!
