    Call for Participants & Waiver/Scholarship Information

     

    GLOBAL CONNECTIONS: GDO'S GLOBAL AMBASSADORS BROADENING THE AOM EXPERIENCE FOR EMERGING INTERNATIONAL MEMBERS

     

    The Gender & Diversity in Organizations Division (GDO) of the Academy of Management (AOM) invites participants for a Professional Development Workshop at the 2021 AOM virtual conference.

     

    This workshop is targeted towards individuals who are:

    • From an emerging economy or a region that is currently underrepresented at AOM. This includes most countries in Africa, Latin America, Asia, and Eastern Europe.
    • Not currently members of AOM's GDO Division but who may be interested in joining.
    • Conducting research on topics related to Diversity Management.

    The workshop is intended to help participants build stronger connections to and integration within the GDO and AOM communities and to hone research paper development skills. Each participant can be matched with a current GDO/AOM member mentor who can help them to network at future AOM meetings and provide feedback on future AOM conference paper submissions. The synchronous online format includes a panel session with Management experts from 4 world regions and roundtable breakout room sessions with panelists and GDO Global Ambassadors.
