Good morning!

The Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences (INFORMS<
https://www.informs.org/>), the leading professional association in
analytics and operations research, is launching a new initiative -- Pro
Bono Analytics - in an effort to connect analytics experts with non-profit
organizations seeking to improve how they achieve greater results by
leveraging data and information.

With Pro Bono Analytics, nonprofit organizations have the opportunity to
work with analytics professionals on a volunteer basis to help solve
challenges and create new opportunities for success with the scientific
process of transforming data into insight.

As part of the launch of Pro Bono Analytics<
https://www.informs.org/Pro-Bono-Analytics>, INFORMS will host a live
webinar on Wednesday, October 28 at 12 PM ET for leaders and managers of
nonprofit organizations. Michael Johnson, PhD<

Professor of Public Affairs and Public Policy with the University of
Massachusetts Boston's McCormack Graduate School -- will lead the webinar
