    Forwarded on behalf of Rosanne Hawarden:

    Dear GDO Members with an interest in corporate boards, director
    appointments and specifically Women on Boards of Directors

    We would like to bring to your attention the active group of scholars
    working in the area of Women on Boards of Directors.  We are starting
    to think about the 2007 Academy of Management conference in
    Philadelphia and what we would like to see happen around Women on
    Boards of Directors.  

    Two very successful symposia were held this year in Atlanta.   It was
    felt that there was insufficient opportunity for in depth discussions
    as well as socialising amongst the WOB community of scholars.   We
    are now calling for expressions of interest and proposals for
    Philadelphia.  Do we organise a PDW or do we arrange another
    symposium or both?    Our inclination is to follow the informal PDW
    option.    We do have a deadline for PDW submissions by 13th November
    (see email below) and it would be much appreciated if you could send
    me a short response indicating an interest in attending or
    participating as soon as possible to rosanne@computer-nz.com.

    The website, www.betterboards.biz, a research front for Women On
    Boards of Directors Research, as been updated.    If you come across
    reports of books, interesting journal articles, studies, newspaper or
    magazine articles, these will be gratefully received to add to this
    Women on Boards research website.

    Regards Rosanne
