New Member Orientation
The Academy of Management holds new member orientation sessions for new members of the Academy at its annual meeting. The 2007 Annual meeting is in Philadelphia with pre-convention activities starting o n Friday, August 3rd, and the formal convention beginning on Sunday. Check the Academy of Management 2007 Conference Website for exact orientation times.
The Management Consulting Division does not have a formal new member orientation. A great way to meet our membership is to attend an informal dinner we have where Division members socialize and discuss issues during dinner, and then have a featured speaker to stimulate after-dinner discussions. In Toronto we were fortunate to have Andre Delbecq as our featured speaker. In Washington D.C. we enjoyed the conversation of Billie Alban and Barbara Bunker. If you are interested in consulting as a topic, or possibly joining the MC Division, or just want to meet some nice folks, contact Susan Adams the Management Consulting Division Chair via e-mail at sadams@bentley.edu.
Another excellent way to meet our membership is to attend our social hour at the Annual Conference on Monday evening.
