    OB Colleagues,


    As you plan your fall semester, please consider attending the 2018 Meeting of the Southern Management Association, which will be held at the Hilton Lexington Downtown in Lexington, Kentucky on November 6-10.


    You can expect more than 100 educational sessions, a variety of networking events, and professional development opportunities. With a nod to the area's horseracing heritage, I particularly want to draw your attention to two "Thoroughbred Workshops", offered respectively by Rena Seltzer and Dick Buchanan.

    How to Have more Time for Research and Writing - Friday, November 9, 10:15am-11:45am. This workshop is led by "thoroughbred" Rena Seltzer, academic career coach, President of Leader Academic, and author of The Coach's Guide for Women Professors. Designed specifically for faculty, this workshop will teach you strategies for setting physical and technological boundaries around your time for writing.


    Design Thinking Demystified
    - Thursday, November 8, 8:30am-10:00am. Join "thoroughbred" Dick Buchanan, Professor of Design & Innovation at the Weatherhead School of Management at Case Western Reserve University, author of Discovering Design: Explorations in Design Studies, and expert at solving "wicked problems in design thinking" to learn how to integrate design thinking into your management courses. This workshop is made possible through the sponsorship of the University of Louisiana at Lafayette.


    Each session has a registration fee of $50 and is limited to 50 participants.

    SMA's registration site is open, and the early bird rate of $185 is available until August 31, 2018. The registration fee increases to $285 on September 1, 2018.

     

    The hotel reservation system is also open. Conference rates for the hotel are $132 per night for single and double rooms, $142 per night for triple rooms, and $152 per night for quad rooms. Each room type is subject to availability. Room rates are available November 4-13, again subject to availability.

     

    You may access conference registration and hotel reservations at: https://southernmanagement.site-ym.com/events/EventDetails.aspx?alias=SMA2018.

     

    We hope to see you in Lexington!

     

    Sincerely,

    Hettie Richardson

    Program Chair of the 2018 Meeting of the Southern Management Association
