Governance
The Academy of Management is a member-driven association governed by a volunteer Board of Governors (the board). In addition, 23 divisions and 3 interest groups, governed by their own elected officers, carry out much of the association's work. The president of AOM appoints committees and task forces to handle new business, undertake projects, and manage specific services such as career services, membership, and the historical archives. Committees, task forces, Journal editors, and the divisions and interest groups maintain connections to the Board of Governors.
