Dear LISTSERV moderators,

Thank you for very much for your efforts. I would appreciate if you emailed the following PDW announcement out to academy members.  I am  not sure if there is an all academy list as our PDW has broad interest--I did not see one.   Please contact me if you have any questions:

Sincerely,

Fostering an Inclusive Environment: Empowering Individuals to Build Meaningful Relationships (Program Session #109)

Do you feel lost at the annual Academy meetings? Excluded?  Not sure where to begin?  A new member?  Initiating conversation, creating small talk, and building relationships at the AOM meeting are not easy tasks for anyone, and can be more challenging for individuals who feel overwhelmed and excluded.  However, good conversational skills and sound relationship building techniques are critically important to career and personal growth for both academics and practitioners.  Where do you start?! At this PDW!! Learn small talk and conversation techniques that help "break the ice," "speed date" with attendees, and speak to panelists who have "been there" to help you develop your own set of networking tools that feels right for you.  Engage in meaningful discussions and learn new skills with colleagues in a supportive and welcoming environment.
