ISIMS Board Members
The first IMS workshop was held in 1992 and the ISIMS was founded as a Scholarly Society in 1996. ISIMS quickly evolved into a diverse community, with members from more than 15 countries. Yet it remains a close-knit society, and maintains a relaxed tone in our conferences. Members from academia, government and industry, and across career stages have equal voice.
We strive to reflect the composition of our membership in session chairs, poster judges, working groups, and the Board of Directors. While the policy-making body of the Society is the Board of Directors, the driving force and the most important part of the Society is, as it always has been, our members.
