As 2023 draws to a close, it’s a great time to reflect on the past year with our 2023 INFORMS President Laura Albert, professor and department chair of industrial & systems engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
INFORMS is a great organization because of its members, and it’s really been an honor to serve our members and also be able to witness some of the amazing things that they do from a different angle. The stewardship and generosity of our members not only makes INFORMS better, but it really makes the entire O.R. ecosystem better. Our members are amazing and if you’re listening to this, thank you!
