[AISWorld] AMCIS Workshop - Launching a global network of equity catalysts

[Loiacono, Eleanor]

I would like to bring your attention to a newly added AMCIS 2022 workshop, entitled “Launching a global network of equity catalysts”.
Description: The workshop will present to academic leaders and full professors a new catalyst model for helping mid-career faculty springboard to the next phase of their career advancement. The goal being to engage several of the attendees as “catalysts”. A critical question over the past several years has been: How can the AIS (the global IS professional association) support women’s efforts to earn promotion to full professor when there are significant global/regional differences - in promotion to full requirements, access to relational support networks, and available financial and other resources for women seeking to advance to full?
The approach highlights a network of global catalysts who will:
1) recruit small cohorts of women faculty in their “global region” and
2) facilitate a series of 6 one-hour long “springboard your career” workshops.
The AMCIS workshop will explain the curriculum and facilitation materials designed to foster connection among “isolated” scholars and for local relevance.
We will present the human-centered design process embraced by the approach with catalysts serving as co-creators.  We will seek feedback on how the model could be scaled and adapted as needed to be implemented globally and sustained beyond scope of the ADVANCE grant.
Through this workshop, co-sponsored by the ImPACT IT ADVANCE grant and the College of Academic Leadership, we hope to share more information about the approach, engage academic leadership (and full professor) support and gain catalyst participation (at a global level).
Day & Time: Thursday, August 11 from 9:30 – 11;30.
Location: AMCIS 2022 Minneapolis MN – specific location will be announced later.
