[AISWorld] AMCIS 2018 Early-Career Faculty Consortium

[Maric Boudreau]

Dear Early-Career Faculty:

We are hosting an early-career workshop at AMCIS in New Orleans.  We'd love for you to join us.  Registration information is below.

Early-Career Faculty Consortium
Finding balance as you prepare for tenure
Co-Chairs:
Marie-Claude Boudreau, Associate Professor & Department Head of MIS at the University of Georgia
Colleen Carraher Wolverton, Assistant Professor & Revis & Lorraine Sirmon/LEQSF Regents Professorship in Total Quality Management, University of Louisiana

Description:
The main goal of the Early-Career Faculty Consortium is to offer all participants insights into their academic career that can help them be valuable, marketable, and successful in their career from their own perspective, and that of their university and the academy. Consortium participants are AIS members beginning their first, second, third or fourth year in an academic position in the Fall of 2018. The Early-Career Faculty Consortium theme will be “Finding Balance as you prepare for Tenure.”

The topics and exercises during the Early-Career Faculty Consortium will be designed to promote interaction among junior faculty as they share what they have learned and their questions from their early experiences as faculty members.  They will also receive feedback from the experienced faculty leaders who will share their key lessons learned from their own careers.  Experiences from respected senior and mid-level faculty members will help shape, focus, and inform discussions of critical issues, while quality interaction among junior faculty remains a prime purpose of the Early-Career Faculty Consortium.

Logistics:
This workshop will take place on August 16, 8:30am – noon (followed by optional lunch).  As soon as we know the location we will update the website. We expect that you'll make some new friends at the workshop and we can all experience New Orleans together.
