    GDO TOWN HALL MEETING

    AoM Coalition on Faculty Diversity:
    Progress Report and Future Planning.

    Monday, August 11th   4:10-5:20 pm. in Hilton Anaheim, Malibu Room.
    (The Town Hall meeting will be held just prior to the GDO Business Meeting.)

    The objective of this Town Hall meeting is to share our progress and, more importantly, to plan our future course, directions and activities for the upcoming year. We are approaching the four-year anniversary of the launching of the Coalition; it started as a GDO ad-hoc committee and has blossomed into an all-Academy grass roots effort that will, with the continued support of our members, make a difference.



    The AoM COALITION ON FACULTY DIVERSITY


    What is the Coalition on Faculty Diversity?  The Coalition is a grass-roots group comprised of Academy members interested in increasing faculty diversity in business schools and their affiliates within and outside the United States.  The Coalition is concerned with recruitment, retention and promotion, as well as climate and glass ceiling issues faced by AoM members.  We're working on a range of initiatives, such as a Diversity Best Practice Award, a Diversity Census, climate surveys and membership support.

    Currently, the Coalition has more than 100 Academy members and 15 advisors representing Academy leadership. In addition, more than half of the Academy Divisions have volunteered to join the Coalition.  For more information see:
