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 15 countries attending the most recent conference. Yet it remains a small society, and maintains a relaxed tone in our conferences. Members from academia, government and industry 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.
