Event Planning and Management

The INCOSE Great Lakes North-Central (GLNC) regional level meeting and event activities are planned and implemented by INCOSE volunteers, and governed by applicable INCOSE Policies, particularly those for Committee, Sector, Chapter and Event management. The GLNC's regional conference is scheduled in coordination with, and under the guidance of, the INCOSE Global Events Portfolio Management Subcommittee, which meets monthly.

Meet the INCOSE GLNC Regional Event Management Team

INCOSE GLNC Regional activities are planned and managed by a dedicated core team of INCOSE Student, Regular and Senior Member volunteers recruited from (a) supporting INCOSE chapters, student divisions, and working groups (WGs), and (b) volunteers from the INCOSE Americas Sector, Outreach, Marketing and Communications (MARCOM), and Global Events Portfolio Management teams. The (expanded) team additionally includes liaison members from the INCOSE Corporate Advisory Board (CAB) and Academic Council, and, at times, INCOSE staff and contracted services.
