Dear CAR Colleagues,
As you may be aware, AOM has historically had a policy of not taking political stands. On February 10th, the AOM Board of Governors amended (see text in bold and underlines) the policy to:
"The Academy of Management does not take political stands. Officers and leaders are bound by this policy and may not make publicly stated political views in the name of the AOM or through use of AOM resources. However, under exceptional circumstances, and with the consensual support of the Executive Committee and in consultation with the Board of Governors, the President is authorized to issue a statement on behalf of the AOM when a political action threatens the existence, purpose, or functioning of the AOM as an organization."
This policy is under embargo for 90 days, until May 10, 2017, while a task force deliberates and elaborates on its implementation.
AOM welcomes – and I encourage you to provide – your input to the task force as it deliberates and elaborates on the implementation of the policy. Please take a few minutes to complete the survey, which will remain open until midnight EST on March 10, 2017, using the URL below:

Kind regards,
Corinne
