Dear Colleagues,
Before the close of 2023, I am excited to inform you (once again) about the newest INFORMS forum: Pride Forum. It was formally created in April 2023 to bring together LGBTQ+ members and allies. If you're interested to join (at no membership fee), please click the JOIN button on the forum's webpage: https://connect.informs.org/pride/home.
Also, I have another request for the members of the forum: If you would be interested to participate in a "Pride/LGBTQ+ Inclusion" related session (as a panelist) at the upcoming INFORMS Business Analytics conference in April 2024, please reach out to me (priyank.arora@moore.sc.edu). We plan to put together a panel of experts or decision makers to have a wide-ranging discussion from the POV of analytics professionals.
We, at the Pride Forum, are excited to work together with all INFORMS members to create a more inclusive and interconnected professional community. Thank you for your support!
Regards,
Priyank Arora
Founding President, INFORMS Pride Forum
