Conference Chair
Mr. Harrison Schramm, CAP, PStat
Senior Fellow
Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments (CSBA)

As such, he has a sense of how INFORMS meetings are structured and the relationships between the Chair, committee, and professional staff. Outside INFORMS, he has chaired or co-chaired 4 professional meetings, including the first two MORS Emerging Techniques Forums, which are very similar in goal (but on a smaller scale) than this proposed meeting. Harrison currently worked together (with Paul Nicholas) on an INFORMS Editor’s Cut volume on Military Applications. Read More
