In support of the Academy’s values, the Content Portfolio Committee (CPC), a committee of the Academy of Management Board of Governors, values diversity, inclusion, and equity in our international community. We seek self-nominees who appreciate diversity in theoretical orientations and empirical contexts, including those that are under-represented, outside the mainstream, and concern populations that are marginalized or hidden. We seek self- nominees that adhere to the belief that the full range of social experience must be represented in our scholarship and often these contributions are made by authors and reviewers from diverse backgrounds and locations

Nomination process and procedures

Self-nominations should include name(s), full address, telephone number, email address, and current CV. We can provide editor job description and nomination search procedures on request.

• All nominees will be asked to confirm their interest in pursuing the editorship at one of these journals by providing a personal statement (500 words or less) that outlines why the nominee is interested in this position. Nominees may apply individually or as a team of co-editors.

The selection process will move through three stages.

• Stage 1: the CPC will review the initial nominations and request a fuller packet to be submitted by nominees that best fit the criteria above.
• Stage 2: Applicants that move to the second stage will be asked to submit a detailed proposal of how they would further the goals of the journal as described in the editorial mission and values statements. Applicants may be asked to meet (virtually) with the CPC and provide references to support their editorial background and skills.
• Stage 3: The CPC will forward a recommendation to the full Board of Governors who will finalize the recommendation.

Self-nominations will be considered until 25 September 2026.
