CM Past Division Chair
Program Chair-Elect: The Program Chair-Elect is responsible for the overall Professional Development Workshop program at the academy meetings. This includes running the division's doctoral consortium or junior faculty research incubator. (The division alternates between a doctoral consortium one year, and a junior faculty research incubator the next year.) The program chair-elect also coordinates all interactions with the Academy of Management regarding pre-conference activities, including the Sunday morning session (run by the reps-at-large). The Program Chair-Elect is elected by a vote of the membership and serves in this capacity for one year, after which time s/he automatically advances to the position of Program Chair. The Program Chair is responsible for the CM Division's program at the Annual Academy of Management Meeting. This responsibility includes: (1) selecting reviewers to anonymously evaluate papers/symposia submitted for the next national Academy of Management meeting, (2) sending reviewers papers and receiving their evaluations, (3) using the data provided by the reviewers to select the top third of submitted papers and symposia for presentation, (4) sending reviewers' feedback on the disposition of their papers/symposia, and (5) ordering food and drinks at the Academy Meeting for Division activities. The Program Chair serves in this capacity for one year, after which time s/he automatically advances to the role of Division-Chair Elect (1 year), then Division Chair (1 year) and Past Division Chair (1 year). Representatives-at-Large: Two representatives-at-large are elected each year to serve a two-year term (so there are four representatives-at large at any one time). During the first year, they are responsible for the Sunday morning pre-conference sessions the CM division presents at the Academy Annual Meeting. During the second year, they coordinate member services for the division and are instrumental in meeting the division's Executive Committee goal of maintaining and growing our member base.
