Dear Worldwide Members of the Academy,
It gives me great pleasure to present the 2024 ballot for
electing three new Representatives-at-Large and a new Vice President-Elect and Program
Chair-Elect to the Board of Governors. The Academy's election web site is open
and ready to accept your votes from April 16 through May 16, 2024.
I strongly encourage you to vote in this election.
The Nominating Committee, a standing committee of the board, takes member nominations submitted last September
into consideration when constructing the slate of candidates for an election. The resulting Election slate is an
impressive group of proven leaders who are strongly committed to the goals and ideals of our professional
association. Please join me in thanking each of these volunteers for being willing to further serve the Academy.
On behalf of the Board of Governors, I would like to remind members of our
tradition of independent nomination and election. We value the fact that
elections in the Academy of Management traditionally have been free of active
"politicking". It is certainly appropriate to ask fellow members of the Academy
for further information about a candidate you do not know. However, active
campaigning is inconsistent with our professional norms. This tradition
has been repeatedly reaffirmed in member surveys.
As outlined in our bylaws,
votes for both the Vice President-Elect and Program Chair-Elect and Representatives-at-Large will be counted using the plurality method,
or popular vote. Following the Annual Meeting, where the cast votes are officialized, election results will
be communicated on AOM.org and other member announcements.
Thank you for your participation.
Sincerely,
Amy Hillman
Past President and Chair of the AOM Nominating Committee*
*As specified in the Academy's bylaws,
the Nominating Committee consists of the five executive officers of the Academy, which includes the
Past President & Chair of the Nominating Committee, President, President-Elect & Coordinator of
Professional Division, Vice President & Program Chair, Vice President-Elect & Program Chair-Elect.
