INFORMS chapters are the heart of our community, bringing together academics and practitioners to advance operations research and analytics. To celebrate their remarkable contributions, we established the Chapter Excellence Awards. These awards recognize chapters that demonstrate outstanding performance in areas such as membership growth, engaging programming, community outreach, professional development, collaboration, innovation, and leadership. Every INFORMS chapter is automatically considered for these awards through their annual reports.
Congratulations to the chapters whose exceptional efforts have been recognized in 2025!
