Entrepreneurship Division Proposed Ballot
Jon C. Carr, ENT Division Past Chair
As you may be aware, this year we are posting the proposed ballot to give the membership time to add candidates. the Division Nomination Committee has been working quite hard to identify and review candidates based upon the AoM nominations survey and are pleased to be able to present a strong ballot. The ENT Division leadership is giving the membership another opportunity to add candidates to the ballot. Members will have 14 days to review the ballot and suggest any additions based upon the requirements outlined below as outlined in the ENT Division Constitution.
Just to provide some background on the process, all the candidates on the ballot have been provided with documents that describe the expectations for the nominated role. Each nominee was asked to confirm that they are willing to take on the responsibilities of the role. For instance, all roles include an expectation that the individual to attend the Mid-winter Meetings and the Annual meetings since these are when the Executive Committee meets to review, and organize, as well as strategize for the future. In addition, all candidates are expected to be aware of, uphold, and promote the AOM Code of Ethics and adhere to its enforced ethical standards and the importance of promoting and supporting it in the elected position.
In order to add a candidate to the proposed list, it must be supported by at least 1% of the membership, which is currently 36 members in good standing (i.e. up-to-date in membership fees and have selected ENT as one of their divisions). Since we would like to run the elections in as close to the usual timeline as possible, we ask that the proposed candidate be one of the 36 members who supports adding their name to the ballot and provides the committee with a 100-word bio and a photo (JPG format).
The process to add a candidate is relatively easy. Please provide a spreadsheet (that includes the proposed additional nominee highlighted) of 36 members of the ENT Division that support the inclusion of the nominee. This spreadsheet will be used to verify paid membership with the Academy of Management and will be reviewed for possible inclusion.
Send this spreadsheet to the past chair at the following email address: jccarr@ncsu.edu
Remember that you need at least 36 other ENT members (paid AoM members) to support this addition and one of the supporters must be the candidate themselves. The window for inclusion and subsequent review is until the end of the day on Wednesday, May 7, 2025.
