Call for Nominations for Editor: Proceedings
Nominations are being sought for the position of Editor of the Academy of Management Proceedings (Annual Meeting Proceedings). The next Editor will work closely with the current editor of the Annual Meeting Proceedings during the first half of 2026 and may assist in the production of the content for that year. The incoming editor will assume full responsibility for the preparation of the 2027 Annual Meeting Proceedings.
The Academy of Management Proceedings features 250-word abstracts of all papers and symposia presented at the Academy's Annual Meeting and shortened versions of the "Best Articles" that have been accepted for inclusion in the program (approximately 10% of all accepted submissions). Papers selected for the Annual Meeting Proceedings are shortened to a 6-page format because publication of papers at their full length may preclude subsequent journal publication.
The editorial term starts in January 2026. The current Editor will facilitate the Proceedings for AOM's 2026 Annual Meeting. The Proceedings Editor-elect shadows the current editor during the first year and takes over the process for the 2027 Annual Meeting Proceedings and is responsible for the 2027, 2028 and 2029 AOM Annual Meeting Proceedings.
Recommended qualifications include the following:
- Scholarly contributions in management.
- Demonstrated administrative skills, capacity to handle a demanding workload and meet deadlines, and ability to work constructively with authors, reviewers, and the Academy’s Division and Interest Group representatives.
- Member of the Academy of Management.
- Familiarity with, and ability to use, a web-based submission and review system.
- Experience and interest in electronic publications.
The Content Portfolio Committee (a committee of the Academy of Management Board of Governors) will review the nominations and will request complete applications from those that best fit the criteria above. Applicants that move to the second stage will be asked to submit a letter describing the nominee’s qualifications and experience relevant to the selection criteria. The Committee will forward a recommendation to the full Board of Governors who will finalize the recommendation.
Nominations, including self-nominations, will be accepted until 6 October 2025.
Submissions should include:
- The nominee's name, full address, telephone number, and email address
- A letter describing the nominee's qualifications and experience relevant to the selection criteria.
