“I have been involved with CIMS since 2003 and have been a regular participant at their annual spring and fall meetings. Being a CIMS Fellow will provide me additional capability to build new partnership-enabling networks,” Badesha said. He was introduced as CIMS’s newest Industrial Fellow at the April 16 and 17, 2013, CIMS meeting in Raleigh.
Badesha is the 19th CIMS Fellow in the center's 29 year history, and the only person from Xerox to receive this recognition. CIMS currently has 19 industrial and academic fellows.
