| PROFESSIONAL
DEVELOPMENT WORKSHOP FACILITATORS & GROUP COORDINATORS
FOR WASHINGTON D.C. MEETINGS, August, 2001. Proposed
and accepted for August 4, 2001 from 8:30 A.M. to
4P.M.
Key: Below are the facilitators who have action research experience who will work with the subgroup coordinators at the Academy of Management Professional Development Workshops. Also listed are the coordinators who have volunteered to be point of contact for the subgroups and work with the facilitators to get the groups as prepared as possible for the workshops. Each session is 90 minutes, and all members of all subgroups are welcome to attend all 4 sessions (this means we actually have 6 hours of time to word together). The Group Coordinators and the Group Facilitators will be working with each of the subgroups and any invited guests to prepare for the workshop. The objective is to come out with a workable research, sample, and action research set of plans and press release for each group, review and fine tune the plans in Washington D.C. and move into basic and action research phases of the studies. We will try to get as much done before the meeting as possible. Members who can not attend will be there as virtual group participants (by email or if we get the technology by direct hookup). |

2. EXTENDED MEETING SPACE - I (David Boje) am trying to arrange a time a place to meet informally. I will attempt to schedule a room with the Academy that is not being used for other purposes for part of one of the days.
CAN DO - As editor of Journal of Organizational Change Management and TAMARA - journal of critical postmodern organization, you are all invited to the JOCM/TAMARA reception to meet one another. You are welcome to attend the Research Methods Division meeting and reception (please check the box on registration and become a member).
CAN DO - Finally, each group can propose a caucus session (a round table meeting in a room for a hour or so. I understand there has always been room enough for all caucus submissions. Caucus organizers need to submit the following items by email or facsimile to the Caucus Coordinator, Brad Shrader at Iowa State (Fax: 515-294-2534; Email: cshrader@iastate.edu ), by March 16, 2001: See call for papers
OTHER ASSOCIATION MEETINGS - We will meet at other associations. I will post these as details become available.
