[AISWorld] COVID-19 Discussion Forum Updates!

[Nelson, Matthew]

Hello Friends:


Thank you to so many people who have graciously shared their perspectives, thoughts and ideas in the COVID-19 Discussion forum.  And Thank you to the founders of the COVID-19 Discussion Forum!  The founders include (but are not limited to) Rick Watson, Blake Ives, Munir Mandviwalla, Cynthia Beath, Richard Mason, Jason Thatcher, John Mooney, Dennis Galletta, John King and more.


We are happy to announce that the COVID-19 Discussion Forum has been opened to the general public.   Anyone can now view COVID-19 Discussion Forum posts, comments and resources. Furthermore, the ability to post comments in the COVID-19 Discussion Forum has been extended to not only AIS Members, but also to anyone listed in the AIS Faculty Directory. Thus, if you're not an AIS Member, you can still post comments in the Discussion Forum by creating a free Faculty Directory listing in the AIS Faculty Directory here (https://aisnet.org/page/FacultyDirectory).


Please encourage colleagues and others in IS to contribute and help provide a global perspective on this important topic.  You can help the extended AIS Community and indeed the entire world to help navigate the challenging times and to help us all create a path forward.  The COVID-19 Discussion Forum is located here (https://communities.aisnet.org/covid-19andis/welcome).


On behalf of Alan Dennis, AIS President
