AOM Celebrates

International Volunteers Day

“My advice to a new member (student or otherwise) would be: Get involved with a division or interest group (or two)! Even though the full conference can feel overwhelming, being involved in a DIG helps keep it manageable plus provides programming that is in line with your specific interests.”

Elizabeth A.M. Searing, Division Chair-Elect of AOM’s Public and Nonprofit Division

As we approach International Volunteer Day on 5 December 2023, the Academy of Management takes a moment to acknowledge and appreciate the invaluable contributions of our dedicated volunteers. For decades, AOM was solely volunteer run. Today, members dedicating their time and talent continues to be integral to AOM’s core of operations. From dedicated Reviewers and Committee volunteers, to those taking on leadership roles within Division and Interest Groups or within our Journal Editorial Teams, we thank our hundreds of volunteers!

As a professional and voluntary association, AOM strives to create community by building networks that facilitate learning and open exchanges. AOM's long history of volunteerism has helped to position it as a global leader in the advancement of management. We celebrate members for their volunteerism, their service in leadership capacities, and their professional accomplishments through AOM's Awards and Recognition activities.
