How to join the QSR Section
(1) There are two mechanisms to join QSR. One can join INFORMS AND select QSR as the Section to be affiliated, or, one can choose to join QSR without joining INFORMS.
(2) QSR Section fees (per year) are: $10.00 for current INFORMS members, $15 for non-INFORMS members, and $1.00 for students/retirees.
(3) Visit http://www.informs.org/Subdiv/forms.html On its upper left corner, there are two links: one says “To join INFORMS” and another says “To join one or more Subdivisions.”
(4) For a non-INFORMS member who wants to join QSR only (not to join INFORMS), he/she should ONLY fill in the form of “To join one or more Subdivisions” and pay $15 (or $1, depending on the membership category).
(5) For a person who is now an INFORMS member but would like to add QSR to his/her existing INFORMS membership, the procedure is the same as a non-INFORMS member joining QSR (namely, use the “To join one or more Subdivisions” form) but pay $10 (or $1) membership fee.
(6) For a person who wants to join INFORMS AND QSR, s/he should follow the link “To join INFORMS” and it will have a place for him/her to indicate which subdivision to choose later.
For information regarding lapsed membership, change of address, request for undelivered newsletter, and other membership matters, please refer to the INFORMS Member Services Center.
