[AISWorld] Fwd: Senior Scholars Best Paper Awards: Call for Nominations

Wed Apr 13 18:44:13 EDT 2016

The Senior Scholars were established in 2004 at the Washington DC ICIS.  They meet every year at ICIS, where they also sponsor a panel that is part of the ICIS program.  This group started the annual best papers awards, and they also initiated the idea of a basket of IS journals.  The Senior Scholars are now a College in AIS, and the current president is Richard Baskerville.

Taken from the bylaws (hopefully the current ones), the list includes:

.       All Leo and AIS Fellow Award winners
.       All current and former Presidents of AIS
.       All current and former Editors-in-Chief of the journals listed in the AIS basket of eight
.       All current and former Conference Chairs and Program Chairs of ICIS

I hope that helps.

I have a very simple question. Can somebody answer it? Who are these "senior scholars" and what was the process used to designate this title and by whom?  Maybe this is public information, but I seem to be naive in this area. Please pardon my ignorance.
