Annual Meeting of the Southern Management Association

Andrew Loignon, George Banks, and Jane Thomas

The Annual Meeting of the Southern Management Association has begun accepting submissions until April 5th, 2019. 
As this year’s track chairs, we would like to personally invite you to submit a paper, symposium, and/or a Professional Development Institute (PDI) proposal for consideration as part of this year’s conference. We imagine that the members of SIOP would be particularly interested in submitting to either the Organizational Behavior track or the joint Human Resource Management/Research Methods track. 

We hope you’ll consider contributing to this year’s conference program, which would benefit tremendously from the shared expertise of the members of SIOP! 

This year's Meeting will take place October 8th through 12th, at the Hilton Norfolk The Main, in scenic Norfolk, Virginia. Billed as “the heart of the Virginia Waterfront,” Norfolk is a vibrant port city and boasts the northern end of the Intracoastal Waterway. Also, Norfolk is approximately 25 minutes (19 miles) from the Virginia Beach oceanfront. 

For more information, here is a link to the call for papers: https://www.southernmanagement.org/meetings 

Please also consider getting involved by serving as a reviewer for this year’s conference. SMA strives to keep the demands of its reviewers manageable by assigning only up three papers per track. 

The direct link to submit papers and proposals, and to volunteer to review is: https://www.xcdsystem.com/sma/member/member_home.cfm 

Thank you for your consideration and participation. We hope to see you in Norfolk this fall! 

Sincerely,
