Mailing lists and other email:
Mail from sjdm.org is often classified as spam. Please put sjdm.org on your safe sender list if you have one. Just moving mail out of a spam folder may do this. Do not use Microsoft addresses (@hotmail, @outlook, @live, @msn). They block our mail without telling you. For other problems with mail, write jonathanbaron7@gmail.com.
We have two mailing lists. New members are automatically added to both lists but can unsubscribe from either or both.
The sjdm-members list is for communications about society business such as meetings and elections. This is a very low-volumue mailing list. If you are a member of this list and you are not getting mail about Society elections and other business, please check the list archives.
The jdm-society mailing list is much higher volume and is open to all for reading and posting, but moderated. If you do not get mail from this list for a while, check its archives.
In addition, Decision Science News often has the latest conference deadlines, jobs, and announcements.
