    INFORMS spORts board roles are open for a two-year term (Feb 2024 - Jan 2026). Primary responsibilities of the board collectively include conference planning for the upcoming October annual meeting (this year, Seattle!) and charting the course for generating and promoting sport-affiliated research and creative activity within INFORMS. Open roles with a brief and general description are listed below. If you would like to run for one of the open roles, send the role and a short paragraph vouching for your interest in the role (no more than 100 words) to Dr. Liz Wanless (wanless@ohio.edu) by midnight, Wednesday, 2/7. Current spORts members will have the opportunity to vote from Thursday afternoon 2/8 to Monday 2/12. New officers will be announced Tuesday 2/13. We plan to meet that next week to change hands and prepare for Seattle.
