We are pleased to announce that the Organization and Management Theory (OMT) Division will once again host its Junior Faculty Consortium as part of the Academy of Management (AOM) Annual Meeting. This year, the consortium is scheduled on Friday, July 31, 2026. The consortium will be held in person in Philadelphia, PA.

If you have started a faculty position within the last few years, this consortium is designed for you! The consortium will provide an intimate forum for interacting with senior colleagues and peers about how to thrive in academia.

2. Strategies for impact and growth as a researcher and educator.
3. Navigating the early years of a faculty career in diverse institutional settings.
4. Preparing for promotion and tenure (e.g., building relationships with letter writers, managing professional networks, and crafting a compelling research narrative).

We are pleased to share that nearly 20 faculty mentors have confirmed their participation. Many have served as editors for leading journals and have received prestigious awards for research and teaching. Our mentors represent a range of career levels and geographies and will provide diverse perspectives. The roster includes:
