Welcome to the Spring 2017 edition of the OMT Newsletter.
In this newsletter we highlight and summarize all the news and announcements that have been posted to our blog since our last newsletter. It has been a busy six months since our Fall Newsletter so there is a lot to explore in this edition of the OMT Newsletter. I hope you find it helpful and interesting.
First of all, it's hard to believe but it is almost time for the meetings in Atlanta. It is going to be a terrific conference and there is a huge variety of activities and sessions for the OMT community. More specifically, with your contributions as authors and reviewers, program Chair Davide Ravasi has created a superb OMT scholarly program. PDW Chair Peer Fiss has done an equally stellar job with the pre-conference program. Take a look at the overviews and note down key events in your diary. Research Committee Chair Lori Yue has also provided a report on our paper and symposium award winners for this year. Also, be sure to join our New and Returning Member Networking Research Forum and attend our many OMT events, including our ever-popular Monday morning Distinguished Scholar Breakfast to congratulate Jerry Davis and hear his distinguished talk.
As usual, we have a number of division activities that are organized every year for our membership. Follow these links for details of the OMT Doctoral Consortium, Junior Faculty Consortium, or Dissertation Proposal Workshop.
Second, for those of you attending EGOS in Copenhagen, please join us on Thursday July 6th at 6:30 pm at Meet OMT @ EGOS. This event is jointly sponsored with Cass Business School so a big thank you to them! Please join us for vibrant conversation, drinks and appetizers in a beautiful setting. OMT and Cass Business School look forward to mingling and seeing you in Copenhagen. And make sure to look for the executive members in attendance as we would love to hear your thoughts on OMT.
Finally, as you will no doubt have heard, our elections very well managed by Marc-David Seidel and we have a great set of new members of the executive committee. Be sure to congratulate our newly elected OMT executives: Renate Meyer, Joel Gehman, Michael Smets and Sun Park.
That’s it for now. We look forward to seeing you all in Atlanta and Copenhagen this summer!
Sincerely,
Ann
