The
INFORMS Roundtable addresses the needs of practitioners
of OR/MS (operations research and the management
sciences). It comprises organizations, not people,
each represented by the ranking manager or executive
in charge of all OR/MS activity. Its purpose is
to promote OR/MS excellence in practice, to provide
practitioner-inspired leadership to the profession,
and to promote the personal professional growth
of Roundtable representatives. It provides a way
for new OR/MS groups to leverage the hard-won lessons
of established groups, and for mature groups to
keep their edge through exposure to new ideas and
peer networking.
Prospective
members and others will find the following information
