AIS Announces Outstanding Communities for 2020

The Association for Information Systems has awarded 42 AIS Communities with the designation of Outstanding SIG, Chapter, or College for the 2020 reporting year.

In a time when maintaining personal and professional connections was more important than ever, our most successful community leaders implemented creative solutions to keep their members in contact with one another. Innovations from the past year include the introduction of a podcast, several new webinar series, a breakfast celebrating innovation, and a social event including a virtual escape room.
