CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

Academy of Management, Public & Nonprofit Division
2006 Doctoral Student Professional Development Consortium
 

Each year the Public and Nonprofit (PNP) Division of the Academy of Management (AoM) sponsors a professional consortium for doctoral students at the annual AoM conference. These consortia have been a PNP tradition for nearly three decades, and they are unrivaled for the networking and professional development opportunities they offer to participants. If you are a program director or faculty member, we urge you to nominate your doctoral students. If you are a doctoral student with aspirations to teach or do research in the fields of public or nonprofit management, nominate yourself to participate in the 2006 consortium.

AoM 2006 meets in Atlanta, Georgia August 11-16, and the consortium unfolds on Saturday and Sunday, August 12 and 13. The consortium provides great opportunities for participants to discuss issues of importance to them (research, publishing, writing, career strategies) and interact with peers and a diverse group of preeminent faculty. The consortium has strong programs planned, with details outlined in the attached sheets. There is no charge for the consortium. 

Students attempting to join the consortium should contact Elizabeth Winslow through email ebw02d@garnet.acns.fsu.edu. Each student participant is requested to submit a short (one to two pages) research proposal to Elizabeth no later than June 10th.  If you have decided on a dissertation topic, we encourage you to submit a short synopsis of the dissertation. If you have not yet articulated a dissertation topic, please submit a proposal that briefly outlines a potential research project that could be shaped into a dissertation. Consortium organizers will match the proposals with faculty members serving on the research panel.    

Please move promptly to nominate your doctoral students or yourselves to participate. If you have other questions about the consortium, please contact the organizers. We also welcome you to join us for the regular program at the AoM conference.  

See you in Atlanta in August,
