    Dear Friends,

    Now begins our next phase to make this exciting grassroots effort a success. The application deadline for the first cohort of Ambassadors is February 28. The application process is not difficult at all, and I know each of you have many wonderful ideas to move INFORMS forward in terms of DEI, so I hope you submit an application. And please help us spread the word to others as well. Many thanks!  --Pinar
