As we close out another year of Resoundingly Human podcasts, I am joined once again by the 2024 INFORMS president Julie Swann, to share a final look back over the past year at INFORMS and reflect on Julie’s time as president.
I certainly want to encourage the members of INFORMS to get involved, to find a way to participate in the organization. There are different ways, different places you can do that. We will be rolling out a volunteer database where you can put your name in the hat for certain kinds of things. But it can start with joining a chapter or subdivision and just volunteering to do what you can to help. That’s really where you build the core of what is so important for so many INFORMS members – that network, that participation – and that really brings value. So I encourage everyone to get involved, and maybe one day you’ll be interviewing some of them, Ashley.
