Dear CAREERS Division Friends and Colleagues,
With the Academy of Management Annual Meeting just ahead of us, this may be a good time to bring you up to speed on some of the latest developments. The program, skillfully put together by Scott Seibert (Program Chair) and Jamie Ladge (PDW Chair), is available online. It is filled with excellent speakers, interesting studies and plenty of new learning opportunities. In keeping with tradition, five submissions were selected to receive one of five division-specific awards. Many congratulations to all winners (listed below) and finalists, and a wholehearted THANK YOU to all award committee members. We will recognize all of the award-winning authors at the Careers' Division Business Meeting (Monday 4:45-6:15 PM, Hilton Atlanta, Grand Ballroom A). Afterwards, at the Careers' Division Social (Monday 6:15-8:15 PM, Hilton Atlanta, Grand Ballroom A), there will be plenty of opportunity to personally congratulate all finalists and winners.
Cordially,
Bert Schreurs
CAR Division Chair-elect
