General Information

You are cordially invited to the first general meeting of the Austin Chapter of INFORMS. During February and March we held successful organizational/social meetings to guage interest in the formation of our chapter and to elect our first officers. The purpose of the May meeting is to facilitate networking within the Austin OR/MS community and to provide Austin's OR/MS professionals and students with the opportunity to join this chapter.

During this meeting we will invite each person to give an introduction and to briefly describe his or her place in the Austin OR/MS community. We're interested in your work, research, and scholarship. We believe that there are many potential benefits to all of us in networking with each other. Future general meetings may include presentations by invited speakers or purely social affairs. We may also offer professional and educational opportunities to our members in the future.

Parking

Use visitor's parking. Although a guard is present, the door to the Hancock Bldg will be open ONLY from 1800-1830. (LCRA policy permits a 30 minute arrival time). Please notify us if you plan to arrive late so that we can meet you.

Post-Meeting

Following our general meeting we invite everyone to join us for dinner at the Hula Hut restaurant across the street. Meals there typically fall in the $7 - $10 range. We will make a reservation at the beginning of our general meeting.
