Dear ENT Division Members,
I hope you and your loved ones remain healthy and safe.
Together with my colleagues from the Division's leadership, it is my great pleasure to invite you to take part in the many exciting Professional Development Workshops (PDW) that are set to take place online as part of the 2020 AOM Conference's synchronous program (that is, these events will take place 'live' at specific times). I wish that all the great PDW that were accepted as part of the program could be part of the synchronous program, but the number that could be included was significantly limited. Please note that several of the live PDW have online resources to help us to use the live time efficiently.
To make your planning easier, the following table lists the date and time of these events: please note that all times are for North America's East-Coast Daylight Saving Time (EDT): this corresponds to UTC minus 4.

Needless to say, this is a first for all of us – and we appreciate that the challenges the current circumstances and conference modes place on everyone. Given our confidence in our Division members' enthusiasm and entrepreneurial spirit, we look forward to lively conversations and exciting new research and teaching innovations which will emerge from these workshops!
Information for logging in onto these 'live' workshops and symposia will be communicated on the AOM Conference website: please stay tuned but consider setting the time aside to take part in these one-time only events!
In addition, keep an eye out for information about our interactive social for Saturday night!
Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Division sponsors, including our Gold sponsor, The Whitman School of Management, Syracuse University, our Silver sponsors, Farmer School of Business, and Baylor University, and our Bronze Sponsors, Colorado State University's Institute for Entrepreneurship, Babson College's Blank Center for Entrepreneurship, Texas Tech University, North Carolina State's Entrepreneurship Clinic, the New England Journal of Entrepreneurship, the Centre for Family Enterprise and Ownership, QUT Business School's Australian Centre for Entrepreneurship Research and the Journal of Entrepreneurship and Public Policy. We are deeply indebted to them.
