    Good afternoon INFORMS!

    I heard from several members that there was an authentication issue when you clicked from this morning's eNews to the Member Home page. To participate in the poll, log in directly to INFORMS Connect, then navigate to https://connect.informs.org/home/memberhome. In the left column, above your profile picture (everybody has their picture uploaded, right?!) you will see the poll asking to select one of the options for renaming the INFORMS Analytics Conference. 

    Our apologies for the error, and thank you so much for your participation!

    Have a great weekend! Mary

    OR encompasses much more than data analytics or data mining.  While data science may be a more appropriate label, I prefer Dr. Jeff Camm's recommended branding of Decision Sciences. Should the poll include an "other" or "none of the above" response?

    @Paul Auclair
    Thanks for your post and raisng the question.  I would have liked to have seen an option that was "other" or "none of the above,"  or even better yet -- a write-in option.
