    Edith Bunker: "I wanna talk about where we're going." 
    Archie Bunker: "Well, that's fine, there, Edith. If you want to talk about Florida, let's talk about Florida. And by the way, we ain't confirmed about going there yet.
    Edith Bunker: "No, no, no! Not Florida! I want to go to Scranton." 
    ...
    Archie Bunker: "Here's something we can see in Disney World. They got an all bear band." 
    Edith Bunker: 'They got a naked band at Disney World?" 
    ...
    Edith Bunker: "I hate bears. "
    Archie Bunker: "Well they ain't real bears, they..."

    Hello friends and allies,


    Some of you have already noticed that the "All in the Family" reception is not included in the 2013 AoM program... indeed, there is no formal reception this year.  Mind you, this has nothing to do with the recent passing of Jean Stapleton, who portrayed Edith Bunker in the 1970s sitcom...   


    Please join us for the PDW:  Queer in the Academy 2003::2013::2023... The purpose of this PDW is to explore and discuss LGBTQ-inclusivity at the Academy, and to formulate future plans for our community activities. Check out the link for a more detailed description:

    When?  Saturday, August 10, 2013 4:00 PM - 6:30 PM
    Where? WDW Dolphin Resort, Salon A1.



    In lieu of a reception this year, we are hoping you can join in for a quick informal get-together after the PDW:


    When?  Saturday, August 10, 2013 7:00 PM
    Where? Todd English's Bluezoo Lounge (WDW Swan & Dolphin Resort)



    We hope to see you there!

    PDW Description:

    Looking ten years down the road, what would LGBTQ-inclusivity at the Academy of Management look like? This session is intended for LGBTQ members and allies at the Academy. We will take stock of the state of the community and its members, and consider the future of the community. Changes within the Academy (and in broad society) over the past decade suggest that the needs of the community are changing: for younger and new members of the Academy as well as for longer-time members. Through facilitated discussion, the purpose of this session is to give Academy members voice as we explore the different inclusion needs of the LGBTQ community. We seek to identify a set of concrete initiatives and leaders for those initiatives to carry forward the interests of LGBTQ (Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgendered, Queer) members of the Academy.
