<div dir="ltr">Many of you know that INFORMS has a paper voting campaign under way. At the last check, there were 272 more votes needed for the campaign to qualify. If every IE department in the nation helped two more people vote, then it could solve the problem.<div><br></div><div>About a week or two ago an email was sent out to all members where a vote had been recorded. If you did not receive that and did not vote since then, then your vote may not be registered. Please, please help ensure every faculty, student, alumni, practitioner, retiree member, has the opportunity to vote. </div><div><br></div><div>Thanks for your consideration! </div><div>Julie Swann<br><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div><div><u><b><br></b></u></div><div><u><b>Simple instructions to vote</b></u><br></div><div><br></div><div><div>The details of the amendment are at <a href="http://www.informs.org/amendment" target="_blank">www.informs.org/amendment</a>.<br></div><div><div><div><div><ol><li style="margin-left:15px"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,255)"><font size="2">Please print the <b>enclosed pdf ballot form</b>.<br></font></span></li><li style="margin-left:15px"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,255)"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif">Write your <b>member number</b> on the printed ballot.</span></span></li><li style="margin-left:15px"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,255)"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif">Mark your selection by filling in the box next to your choice.</span></span></li><li style="margin-left:15px"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,255)"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif"><b>Write your name on the envelope for your vote to be valid -- this is very important.</b></span></span></li><li style="margin-left:15px"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,255)"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif">Mail completed ballot to<b><br></b></span></span></li></ol></div><div><span style="color:rgb(0,0,255)"><font size="2"><span role="presentation" dir="ltr" style="font-family:sans-serif"> Survey and Ballot Systems</span></font></span></div><div><span style="color:rgb(0,0,255)"><font size="2"><span role="presentation" dir="ltr" style="font-family:sans-serif"> 7653 Anagram Drive,<br></span></font></span></div><div><span style="color:rgb(0,0,255)"><font size="2"><span role="presentation" dir="ltr" style="font-family:sans-serif"> Eden</span><span role="presentation" dir="ltr" style="font-family:sans-serif"> Prairie, MN 55344 USA.</span></font></span></div><div><span style="color:rgb(0,0,255)"><font size="2"><span role="presentation" dir="ltr" style="font-family:sans-serif"><br></span></font></span></div><div><font size="2"><span role="presentation" dir="ltr" style="font-family:sans-serif"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,255)"> If you do not remember your member number, you can find it by logging into <a href="http://informs.org/" target="_blank">informs.org</a>.
