December 2024 is the last month for ISIE members to take advantage of Tom Graedel's matching gift offer made at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) in April. We hope that you will consider a donation to the ISIE before the end of the year to take advantage of Tom's generous offer. To make a donation, please visit https://is4ie.org/donate. For those of you whose membership expires at the end of this year, you will have the opportunity to include a donation when you submit your membership renewal. We hope you will consider doing so. Thanks.
I am including here the summary of Tom's offer that was included in an earlier announcement:
