Dear GDO-ers,
The Southern Management Association is now accepting submissions for the 2020 Annual Meeting and I am writing to personally invite you to submit a paper, symposium, and/or a Professional Development Institute (PDI) proposal.
This year's meeting will take place in St. Pete Beach, Florida - at the TradeWinds Resort on a white sand beach barrier island near Tampa/St. Petersburg. The exchange of scholarly and practical knowledge, innovative professional development opportunities, and fun fellowship and networking promise to make SMA 2020 one of the best to date!
How Can You Be Involved?
We need you to submit your manuscripts, symposia, and PDI. We also need you to volunteer to review. The quality of our program is directly dependent on your active engagement! The deadline for submissions is April 27th, 2020. Please review the 2020 SMA Call for Papers at:
https://cdn.ymaws.com/southernmanagement.site-ym.com/resource/resmgr/docs/2020/sma_2020_call.pdf
To learn more about conference participation, submitting a manuscript, and volunteering to review; to engage in other conference services; or to view the proceedings from prior SMA Annual Meeting, please visit our website at: www.southernmanagement.org.
The direct link to submit papers and proposals, and to volunteer to review is: https://www.xcdsystem.com/sma/abstract/index.cfm .
If you submitted or reviewed last year, you already have a profile created in the system, and last year's username and ID can be used to log into the 2020 conference portal. If any of your information has changed, please update it at this time-even if you are not submitting.
As we hope to limit each reviewer to no more than three papers total, we'll need a large reviewer pool. Please note that if you are a submitting author, you will also be expected to serve as a reviewer. Doing so is one small way to repay the generosity of the volunteers who will review your work. Plus, SMA recognizes our best reviewers with a number of awards that look great on CVs!

Please plan to be a part of SMA's 2020 Annual Meeting in St. Pete Beach! We hope to see both curent and new members there!
Best,
Lex Smith (Washington)
