ODC Call for Professional Development Workshops (PDWs)
I am writing to invite you and your colleagues to submit a PDW for the 2011 Academy of Management Meetings in San Antonio August 12-16.
PDWs are interactive learning experiences that help people strengthen and enrich their professional practice. They can take many forms (workshops, interactive symposia, tutorials, town hall meetings, breakout sessions, field trips, debates, case studies, roundtables, research incubators, etc.) and can address any issue of concern to ODC scholars and practitioners.
If you have an interesting idea for an ODC PDW session, I encourage you to submit your proposal as soon as possible. The final deadline is January 11, 2011 at 5:00 PM ET (New York time).
We especially welcome proposals that address this year's conference theme: "West Meets East." For more on the conference theme go to: http://annualmeeting.aomonline.org/2011.
Note that because PDW space is limited, we encourage PDW proposals that are of interest to several divisions or interest groups. Although PDW proposals may be submitted only to one division, if your proposal is accepted by ODC, other divisions will be offered the opportunity to co-sponsor it based on your recommendations.
ODC Division PDW sessions will be scheduled from 8 am Friday, August 12, 2011 to 8 pm Saturday, August 13, 2011. Please submit your proposals using the PDW submission system at: (http://submissions.aomonline.org/2011) . Again, the deadline for proposals is January 11, 2011 at 5:00 PM ET (New York time), and early submissions are appreciated.
I look forward to seeing your proposal!
Jeffrey Ford
ODC PDW Chair
