MED PDWs in Montréal Toni Ungaretti, PDW Chair Working with all of you at the Academy was exciting and energizing! It has been especially thrilling to have the opportunity to work both under Alvin and Katherine’s leadership and to have the privilege of now serving as your PDW Chair (Program Chair Elect). In my role as Membership Coordinator last year, we launched the Membership Committee (Barbara Ritter, Richard Boyatzis, Thomas Bradley, Alvin Hwang, and me) and the new Membership Campaign – Each One, Bring One which included the use of ribbons which successfully increased our visibility throughout the Academy! Building on this effort, the Membership Committee recommended that we develop critical and timely tracks for our PDW Program to support MED members and attract members from the Academy who face the challenge of teaching in an uncertain world. Keeping with this spirit, the PDW Call for Proposals is focused on enhancing MED’s visibility as the Academy’s leader in advancing learning in management education and development. To accomplish this goal, you are needed to develop creative and innovative proposals that apply scholarship on teaching and learning to the complex challenges facing management educators in today’s complex, volatile economic landscape - What are our challenges? What approaches work? How do we know that our learners in fact learn? How do we prepare doctoral students and new faculty to teach? How can we advance scholarship on teaching and learning? How do we demonstrate caring in our teaching? How do we teach our learners to care? We especially invite cross disciplinary proposals, multi-institution symposiums, and insights from doctoral students and new faculty. This is the opportunity for MED to shine – …so bright, we got to wear shades!! MED encourages members of all AOM Divisions to submit 2010 PDW proposals on management education to address our two major themes: DARE TO CARE - CONFERENCE THEME The conference theme - Dare to Care - provides a unique venue for exploring both the care we extend to our learners in their management education experience and the care that they demonstrate in their practice after the completion of their degrees. What models, philosophies, guiding principles, and best practices in teaching/learning can be shared that integrate passion for one’s work with compassion for others impacted by one’s work? What opportunities does teaching provide for preparing learners to engage in management practices designed with concern for the well-being of the larger society? How do we include the concept of a sustainable future within the content that we teach? How do we model care in the classroom? What approaches have been successful in preparing learners to demonstrate concern for all stakeholders and the integration of the interests of all parties in their practice? How do we measure care in our teaching and in our learners’ performance?
ADVANCING TEACHING/LEARNING THEME The teaching/learning theme includes areas of inquiry that concern or impact all who teach, study teaching, or are concerned about learning across all disciplines in management education. We are interested in proposals that integrate and/or cross disciplines and that are of interest across the Academy. The tracks within this theme focus on applying research and best practice to enhance our preparation to teach, to support our efforts to teach, to better understand our learners, and/or to ensure that our learners in fact learn. In keeping with this, we welcome proposals that creatively and effectively address the following tracks: Scholarship on Teaching/Learning - encourages an agenda of inquiry related to teaching/learning and asking questions that create knowledge to advance the practice of management education Effective Teaching – focuses on the development of the whole teacher including her/his educational philosophy and teaching competency Learning Assessments – provides a forum to discuss both the approach and issues/concerns related to the assessment of student learning such as assessment systems, portfolio assessment, faculty engagement, and limitations to name a few. Learning Styles – examines learning styles of individuals and how this affects the learners’ ability to process and comprehend the various presentation modalities of management education Teaching Strategies and Techniques – includes efforts especially designed to advancing the conversation on internships, service learning, simulations, project-based learning, online learning, and experiential learning
All proposals will be considered for their potential to interest, excite and engage members of MED and the broader Academy membership. For further information and discussion, contact MED PDW Chair Toni Ungaretti via email (

2010 MED Division Chair Katherine Karl As always, it was great fun seeing many familiar MED faces in Chicago and meeting several new ones. I am looking forward to an exciting 2009-2010 year, but before I describe the upcoming year, I would like to thank Alvin Hwang (now enjoying his role as Past Chair of the Division) for all his diligent service to MED and for mentoring me through the roles of PDW Chair and Program Chair. I would also like to thank Ken Thompson (2009 Program Chair) and Jon Billsberry (2009 PDW Chair) for putting together an outstanding 2009 program. Finally, our Division is successful because of the active participation and contributions of its members, so I would like to say thank you to all of you, the members of MED. As for the upcoming year, MED NEEDS YOU! The Division’s officers and myself would like to start several new initiatives and we need your help. First, we would like to enhance communication. Under the leadership of Darlene Alexander-Houle, our MED newsletter editor, we will be expanding the content in the newsletter and our website. We want to make something that members feel compelled to read both because of their valuable content. To that end, we are inviting all members to contribute. Possible topics include: an interesting session I attended at the Academy, announcements of publications of members related to the MED domain, announcements of teaching and learning-related conferences, a syllabus exchange, a brief synopsis of a teaching-related article in AMLE or JME, and other invited articles that would interest our members. Second, we would like to enhance our outreach. Specifically, we would like to begin a traveling MED-sponsored workshop. Therefore, we are looking for volunteers to host and plan these workshops. One possibility would be for volunteers to host a full-day, open enrollment workshop at their university. Another possibility would be to host the workshop at the annual Academy meeting, and then repeat it at regional meetings and internationally. It has also been suggested that webcast versions of the workshops could be offered. We would like to provide participants MED certificates at the end of such workshops as evidence of faculty development. Our third goal is continuous improvement. Under the leadership of Bill Lee, our Program Evaluation Co-ordinator, we are going to be trying out new online methods to get MED member’s input on how we can improve the program. We also encourage all members to contribute to MED by bringing to our attention best practices from the other Divisions of which you are a member. This process might best be facilitated by a Best Practices Co-ordinator. If anyone is interested in serving in this role, please send me an email (

). Finally, starting in July 2010 the MED officers will begin preparation for our Division’s Five Year Review, another perfect opportunity to provide your input so that we can improve our Division. Finally, we would like to increase the number of MED members and we are already off to a great start in this area. This past summer a group of past, present and future Membership Coordinators came up with several new ideas including an “Each One Bring One” campaign. So, please join me in supporting the cause by spreading the word about what a great Division MED is. At our last five year review (2005-2006), membership was a t 1748. Currently we have 1932 members, but why not 5,000? Indeed, why not 12,000? After all, regardless on which management specialty areas we focus our teaching and research, we are all management educators. In closing, on behalf of all the Division’s officers, I would like to thank you for entrusting us with the important task of leading our division in 2009-2010. It is a great honor and privilege to serve! |

New Conference Structure |
 |
|
In 2009, the Academy of Management is going to Chicago. In many ways it'll be the conference you know and love, but there will be one big difference: the structure will be different, very different. The conference will begin first thing on the Friday and run until the end of the Tuesday. There will be five full days of events and activities. They will be structured like this: - Friday: PDWs
- Saturday: PDWs
- Sunday: All-Academy events and business meetings
- Monday: Scholarly program
- Tuesday: Scholarly program

New Constitution |
|
|
Periodically, every division of the Academy reviews their constitution to ensure that the document is up-to-date and reflects the current needs of division governance. We did this in the fall of 2008 and the members voted on our revised constitution. The voting has now finished and the revised constitution has been accepted. The most significant changes are: - updates to follow current Academy practices such as web-based balloting
- a parliamentary procedures clause (Article VII)
- procedures for replacement of officers who do not complete their terms (Article V)
- provision for terms of Executive Committee appointments (Article IV, 17)
Please click the following link to see our new constitution: (http://divisions.aomonline.org/med/RevisedMEDConstitution2008Nov.pdf). If you have any questions about our new constitution, please contact our secretary, Margaret Hopkins (
