The web sites are often taken down after their conference, which is what has already happened with our last conference. When someone wants to find the conference program, when and where the conference was held, or who organized it, it becomes a challenge.
- The conference page or pages should also feature a link to the INFORMS Meeting registration page for our conference.
- Organize newsletters into PDF and post in a separate folder, versus appending them to the News html file, which has become too cumbersome to scroll through.
- For the Jobs sections, solicit an Associate Editor, that manages the Job Postings, and keeping them organizing and removing expired ones. The position may require following up with companies to remove older posting.
