Hello Fellow PNPrs,
Guess what, it is that time again. I know it seems early, but I am happy to announce the 2007 PNP Call for PDWs for the Philadelphia Meetings of AOM. See Below.
Thanks,
Neil

2007 PNP Division Professional Development Workshops: Call for Proposals
The Public and Nonprofit Division (PNP) encourages creative proposals for PDW sessions that would advance professional development knowledge at the 2007 Annual Conference in Philadelphia. These sessions are scheduled between Friday 1 p.m. (8/3/07) and Sunday noon (8/5/07). We seek PDW topics that link to the Conference theme of "Doing Well By Doing Good”.
In addition to our annual Junior Faculty Consortium and Doctoral Student Consortium, we are especially interested in seeking topics that:
- Showcase our knowledge of “Doing Good” by exploring topical and current PNP issues (e.g. tsunami and Hurricane Katrina response and other “BIG” issues).
- Review publication outlets and quality standards for journals that specifically address PNP issues and those that accept high
quality work irrespective of research context.
- Explore mid-career issues, research method issues, or ones that explore statistical skills, advancing research for publication, and networking.
- Review teaching topics and innovations in teaching.
Beyond the possibilities listed above, please submit other innovative ideas. All sessions can take a number of formats: workshop, interactive panels, skits, debates, and tours -- in either a traditional or nontraditional format.
Collaborations between practitioners and academics are particularly welcome to build upon each other's strengths. We also encourage designing sessions that other divisions may want to co-sponsor and/or co-organize.
Please submit your PDW proposal, including the name of the organizer(s) (with affiliation, mail,
phone, etc.) its title, brief description of the session, the expected outcomes to the participants, desired time required, preferred date and time, anticipated target audience, room layout suggested, and A/V needs.
The deadline for proposals is Nov 13, 2006. Please submit the above information to the PNP PDW Chair: Neil Boyd at
BoydPDW@Lycoming.edu. Thank you for your active assistance in making the Philadelphia Conference a success.
