Help Shape EAM’s Future: Call for Strategic Planning Committee Nominations
The Strategic Planning Committee is coming together, with several members already nominated by the EAM Board. As we build this important group, we’re seeking additional nominations to ensure a diverse and well-rounded team—representing faculty, doctoral students, administrators, and past leadership.
We’re especially looking for individuals with experience in strategic planning or a passion for innovative approaches, such as the Start Reverse methodology by André Wiringa—a framework that begins with the ideal stakeholder experience and works backward to align strategy and operations.
If you or someone you know would be a great fit, we invite you to submit a nomination and help shape EAM’s next chapter.
We Want to Hear From You! Help Shape EAM’s Future
As part of our Strategic Planning efforts, we're launching a two-part survey to better understand our community and strengthen the EAM experience.

🔹 Part Two gathers your insights on conference experiences, venue preferences, and educational programming. You’ll be automatically directed to Part Two after completing Part One, or you can click here to jump ahead now.

Conference Theme Societal Impact: Strengthening Communities and Economies Through Management
In an era of increasing global uncertainty and complexity, regional economies can be the engines of innovation, job creation, and social progress. While globalization connects us, it is at the regional level where businesses start, communities thrive, and policies take shape. Higher Education, especially business and management education, is critical in shaping regional prosperity. Business schools are a catalyst for economic development, workforce transformation, and social mobility. However, as higher education faces increasing scrutiny, we must more clearly articulate, examine, and expand our impact on the regions we serve. The 2026 Eastern Academy of Management (EAM) Conference calls on scholars, educators, and practitioners to explore how management research, teaching, and practice contribute to economic vitality and community resilience. How do business schools and management faculty drive workforce development, industry innovation, and social good within their regions? How do we balance global perspectives with local needs? And how can we strengthen the link between academia and regional communities to foster meaningful change? | 63rd Annual Meeting May 19-22, 2026 Atlantic City, NJ Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino
