Dear ARCS Community, I am delighted and honored to take on the presidency of ARCS for the 2014-2017 term. I thank you for your confidence in me, and look forward to working with all of you toward achieving ARCS' mission, which is to serve as a powerful vehicle for advancing rigorous academic research on corporate sustainability issues.
| Magali Delmas President, ARCS |
I hope to build on the success of Mike Lenox, who co-founded ARCS and presided over the organization since 2009. Mike, who will remain on the ARCS Executive Committee, has provided his vision and outstanding leadership to develop ARCS into a consortium of 19 top universities and a professional society of approximately 200 scholars from over 20 countries.
I would also like to thank Erika Herz for her service as ARCS' Managing Director since our inception, as she is transitioning to a new role at Virginia's Darden School of Business. We wish her well! I am excited about growing the organization and hope you will join us for the next academic conference from May 13 to 15, 2015 at the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University. Best regards, Magali Magali Delmas President, ARCS UCLA Institute of the Environment and Sustainability Anderson School of Management
