THE DIVERSITY & INCLUSION AND PRACTICE THEME COMMITTEES OF THE ACADEMY OF MANAGEMENT
D&ITC BEST PRACTICE IN DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION AWARD: Submission Deadline extended to APRIL 15th, 2015
Diversity and Inclusion Theme Committee (D&ITC) (established September 1, 2010) is charged to (1) cultivate and advocate ethical behavior in all aspects of our work; (2) provide a dynamic and supportive community for all of our members, embracing the full diversity of our backgrounds and experiences; (3) respect each of our members' voices and seek to amplify their ideas (http://group.aomonline.org/ditc/).
The Diversity & Inclusion Theme Committee (D&ITC) and the Practice Theme Committee (PTC) of the Academy of Management are calling for nominations for the D&ITC Best Practice in Diversity and Inclusion Award. The D&ITC award aims to recognize exemplary diversity and inclusion best practices that have achieved, or are currently achieving, notable impact on diversity and inclusion in practice, teaching, or research. Nominees must specifically demonstrate how the practices, programs, teaching, or research conducted by the division, interest group, or committee have made notable impacts on advancing diversity and inclusion. Collaborative practices between or among groups that foster diversity and inclusion can illustrate best practices effectively; however, groups may not apply jointly. Rather, a single group, ideally the group that leads and assumes most duties and efforts should be the one nominated on behalf of the joint efforts.
