We are pleased to announce the appointment of Howard Rheingold as Research Fellow at IFTF. This honorary title is reserved for a few select individuals who have shaped IFTF research in significant ways. Howard is the first person to receive this honor. We are exceedingly proud of our affiliation with Howard over the past several years and recognize that much of our work today builds on the strong foundation that he has provided with the cooperation research. We have embraced many of the principles of that work in our own strategy as well as our forecasts, and it remains a touchstone for IFTF thinking across program areas. This award is a recognition of Howard's extraordinary contribution to our research.

We will hold a celebration to honor Howard's work with IFTF with a special dinner attended by IFTF board members and staff on Monday, August 25 in Palo Alto.
