ANN: ISCRAM at EMForum Mar 24

EMForum.org is pleased to host a one hour presentation and interactive discussion Wednesday, March 24, 2010, beginning at 12:00 Noon Eastern time (please convert to your local time). The International Association for the Study of Information Systems for Crisis Response and Management (ISCRAM) is an international professional organization aimed at promoting research, development and exchange of knowledge of information systems for crisis response and management. To meet its fundamental objective of helping to improve disaster management, the Association is actively working to foster research that is critical, relevant and timely to practice.

Our guests include Dr. Susanne Jul, current Vice Chair and a founding board member of ISCRAM. As an independent researcher, she focuses on ways of interpreting research results for practical application, and developing research methods from successful design and innovation practices. Dr. Jul is also President of Amaryllis Consulting and is an active volunteer with American Red Cross Disaster Services.

 

Dr. Mark P. Haselkorn, ISCRAM Conference Chair, will also join us to provide information about the upcoming 7th Annual ISCRAM 2010 conference, scheduled for May 2-5, in Seattle, Washington. Dr. Haselkorn also serves as Director of the Pacific Rim Visualization and Analytics Center, a DHS-funded regional center of excellence focused on enhancing distributed collaborative decision making.

Please make plans to join us, and as always, feel free to extend this invitation to your colleagues.
