Vance R. Wanner
Memorial Award
The Military Operations Research Society exists
to enhance the profession of military operations research. That profession is
measured by the significance of its contributions to decisions affecting the
nation's security. Such contributions should be timely, responsive to evolving
national needs and of high technical quality. The strength of the military
operations research profession depends on several essential elements. There must
be well trained and educated professionals, imbued with a deep sense of ethics,
a substantial body of professional methodology and effective study agencies,
blessed with strong leadership. To underline the importance of these elements of
professional strength and to recognized individuals who have contributed
significantly to their achievement, MORS established the Vance R. Wanner
Memorial Award, named after the Society's first Executive Secretary. Each year
the Society grants the award to a military operations research professional who
is deemed to have played a major role in strengthening the profession.
MORS takes pride in honoring these pre-eminent
leaders in this relatively young, but increasingly important profession.
