SIOP will continue the momentum of record-breaking conference attendance and superb programming at the 2019 SIOP Conference at National Harbor in Fort Washington, Maryland. The “I Am SIOP” theme will highlight collaborations, demonstrate impact through partnerships, and feature multidisciplinary approaches to advance our science and practice, with several new features and an outstanding lineup of speakers! Planning for this 34^rd Annual Conference is underway, so mark your calendars now!

Thanks to everyone who ran the 2018 Frank Landy 5k Fun Run in Chicago. Congratulations!!

Back on April 18 in Chicago, a crowd of over 150 people gathered to honor recipients of the awards announced at the Foundation’s Dessert Reception. Sandra Davis and MDA Leadership supported the event—thank you Sandra!  Attendees viewed posters of the award winners, had their photos snapped, and celebrated the continuing advances taking place in our field of applied organizational science.

Mark your calendar for the 14th Annual Leading Edge Consortium (LEC), "High potential: Identifying, Developing & Retaining Future Leaders." The event will be held at the Renaissance Baltimore Harborplace Hotel, October 19-20, 2018 with pre-consortium workshops held on October 18. Pre-eminent thought leaders, scholars, and seasoned practitioners will share best practices, along with practical and strategic applications to take back to your organization.

Members are the heart and soul of SIOP and are greatly appreciated for their interest and contributions. An impressive list of distinguished members has been with the Society for 25 years or more. To recognize the contributions and loyalty of these dedicated members, SIOP has developed an initiative called the Sterling Circle. Sterling Circle members are honored in several ways and can be identified at SIOP events with a special ribbon on their badges. Learn more about the Sterling Circle here.
