Call for Participation

Tenured? Wondering about the next steps in your career? At a crossroads in your career? Thinking about seeking an administrative post? or leading a research center? Or taking on leadership roles in the academic community?
The Association for Information Systems is introducing a new pre-ICIS workshop for mid-career mentoring. The ideal workshop participant is an academic who is at a mid-point in their academic career and who would appreciate advice and information about different career options after tenure.

The workshop will include panel discussions and roundtable discussions. The distinguished panel members include leading IS scholars who have made various career choices post-tenure and who can provide an informed perspective of the advantages and disadvantages of these career options as well as advice for those considering similar choices.
