We are pleased to announce that the Organization and Management Theory (OMT) division will once again hold its Junior Faculty Consortium as part of the Academy of Management (AOM) Annual Meeting. This year the consortium is tentatively scheduled on Friday August 4th, 2023. The consortium will be in person in Boston, MA.
If you have started a faculty position in the last few years, this consortium is for you! The consortium will provide an intimate forum for interacting with senior colleagues and peers about how to prosper in your academic career.

2. Strategies for impact and growth as a researcher and teacher.
3. Navigating the early years of building a successful faculty career in diverse institutional settings. We will also explore the implications that the COVID-19 pandemic may have for all of these issues.
4. Preparing for promotion and tenure (e.g., building relationships with letter writers, managing relationships with colleagues, creating a research narrative).
