Conflict Management CM

Greetings from the Conflict Management Division of the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placetype w:st="on">Academy</st1:placetype> of <st1:placename w:st="on">Management</st1:placename></st1:place>.

You are receiving this message because in previous years you contributed to the Division by reviewing for the CM Division Academy Program.  Thank you.  Our division's part of the program has been terrific due in large part to your participation in the reviewing process.

The <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placetype w:st="on">Academy</st1:placetype> of <st1:placename w:st="on">Management</st1:placename></st1:place> has announced that the Centralized Reviewer System is now open for reviewer signup. You can access the system at http://review.aomonline.org. In case you missed Jim Walsh's Academy-wide announcement about the reviewing process for the Meetings, I have pasted it to the bottom of this note.

As you probably know, the Centralized Reviewer System has many benefits that translate into easier signup, retrieval, and return of reviews. Among other things, it offers a one-stop mechanism for signing up across all Academy divisions.

Our division attracts many submissions each year, and as a reviewer you play a crucial role in helping to transform these submissions into the high quality program you have come to expect from CM.  We need reviewers across a wide range of methods and topics listed at the website. Depending on the number of reviewers who register, you will probably be asked to review three (and no more than 5) submissions between January 15th and February 13th, 2008.

I hope you'll decide to serve as a reviewer for the CM Division again this year.  If you know colleagues and/or PhD students who might like to review for the Division but have not done so in the past, please free to pass this message on to them.  We welcome their participation.

<st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placename w:st="on">Dear</st1:placename> <st1:placetype w:st="on">Academy</st1:placetype></st1:place> of Management Member:

The Academy is recruiting reviewers for its 2008 Annual Meeting Program.

If you are interested in being a part of the review process, we highly encourage you to sign up as a volunteer reviewer for the divisions or interest groups in which you are a member, planning to submit to, or are interested in.  Divisions and Interest Groups will also be following up with those of you who have reviewed in the past.  Please note that even if you have reviewed in the past, you still need to re-sign up for the 2008 Annual Meeting.

You can sign up to review for up to three divisions and/or interested groups, and you may be asked to review up to three submissions per division or interest group that is selected. So the maximum number of review assignments that you could potentially receive is nine. The review period for the 2008 annual meeting is from January 15, 2008 (Submission Deadline) to February 13, 2008 (Review Deadline).  Please check your work schedule to make sure that you will be able to review during this period.

Being a reviewer will add more visibility to you and your institution and give you an opportunity to be more involved in the Academy's program.  We hope that you strongly consider reviewing for at least one division or interest group.

To sign up, please visit http://review.aomonline.org and click the "Sign Up Now" button in order to create a profile and choose your areas of expertise (i.e. keywords) for the divisions or interest groups for which you want to review.  The sign-up process is fast and easy and should not take longer than 5 minutes.

Thank you in advance for your participation.  Without your effort and support, there would not be an Annual Meeting.

Best regards,

James P. Walsh
