    Dear colleagues,

    I am looking for speakers for my session at this year's annual INFORMS meeting in Phoenix, AZ, from October 15th – 18th 2023. The session is tentatively titled "Advancing Equity and Inclusion through Social Impact" and is organized by the Public Sector Operations Research (PSOR) subdivision that is dedicated to 'doing good with good OR' and focused on furthering the use of OR/MS in improving the human condition. The aim of the session is to highlight research that engages stakeholders at the grassroots level and there is social impact generated, with involved organizations being for-profit, non-profit, or humanitarian. Problems including but not limited to communities that are marginalized are welcome.

    Please reach out via email (ssafaya3@gatech.edu) if you are interested. Each talk is scheduled to be around 15 minutes long.

    Looking forward to hearing from you.

    Regards

    Shikha Safaya
