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.
