IISE CEO MESSAGE: IISE Conferences 'celebrate and capture' positive works of ISEs

Dear IISE members & guests,

We are proud of our industrial and systems engineers worldwide whether they are established in the profession or studying to make their mark on its future. Especially during this time of crisis and disruption, ISEs continue to lead and find better systems and processes to help organizations survive and thrive.

Through IISE international conferences, we celebrate and capture these positive works of ISEs customized to their field. ISEs are able to continue to present findings, share innovative practices, network with colleagues, advance their careers, and view cutting-edge products and services. As IISE returns to in-person events while continuing safety and health measures, please mark your calendar for upcoming iise.org/conferences.

It's more important than ever to stay focused, on track and learn lessons together in these challenging times. We look forward to your participation at IISE events.

Thank you!

Don Greene
Chief Executive Officer
