    Webinar to Launch Pro Bono Analytics

    October 28th 12 PM EST

    As many of you know we have been working hard to prepare for the launch of Pro Bono Analytics – an exciting new initiative designed to connect analytics experts with non-profit organizations seeking to improve how they achieve greater results by leveraging data and information.  

    With Pro Bono Analytics, nonprofit organizations have the opportunity to work with analytics professionals on a volunteer basis to help solve challenges and create new opportunities for success with the scientific process of transforming data into insight.

    For those of us who want to utilize our talent and training to give back to our communities or causes we care about, Pro Bono Analytics is an exciting way to do so. In fact, well over 100 INFORMS members and others have already volunteered!

    As part of the upcoming formal launch of Pro Bono Analytics we will be hosting a webinar on Wednesday, October 28 at 12 PM EST. The webinar will allow volunteers (or potential volunteers) and non-profit organizations alike to learn more about the program. I will host the webinar and will be joined in the presentation by a nonprofit analytics expert. 

    We encourage to join the Pro Bono Analytics effort. To register for the webinar please visit:
