Informs Information Systems Society: Call for Nominations for New Officers
Nominations are invited for a full slate of new officers to lead the activities of the Informs Information Systems Society (ISS) beginning October 1, 2011. The term for office is 2 years.

*         President

ISS currently has about 500 members and is financially supported by many prestigious institutions such as Carnegie Mellon University, University of Connecticut, University of Minnesota, University of British Columbia, Georgia Institute of Technology, University of Texas at Dallas, Indian School of Business, University of Alberta, City University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong University, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, and University of Arizona. The society sponsors the Conference on Information Systems and Technology in addition to supporting the publication activities of the flagship journal Information Systems Research.
The new officers will take over the leadership of the society in exciting times. Two important priorities are to grow and broaden the membership base, and facilitate the research and teaching activities to improve the visibility of the information systems community both nationally and internationally. The president will be a visible and active member of the information systems community and lead the society with passion, energy and commitment. The vice-president will support the president in leadership activities, and be responsible for the day-to-day affairs of the society. The treasurer will manage the society's funds and be responsible for budgeting and financial reporting.
