I'm sorry but I just can't resist...
Would people still attend this meeting if it were held in a room called
"New York" rather than "Copenhagen"?

Subject: Response to concerns over USAers on IM Division Consortium
panel (MIC Roundtable)
All ... I have been loathed to jump into this but do have a suggestion
that
is potentially constructive.
On Monday 14 August at the Conference is a special roundtable symposium
of
the Membership Involvement Committee. This will be held in Copenhagen
at
12:30. The role of the MIC is to increase involvement of non-North
American Member of the Academy. This is an opportunity to be heard, but
more importantly, be involved. I purposedly held out the time for this
in
the program schedule this year and encourage all who want to be involved
in
moving the division forward more globally be there.

The discussion of this subject has been interesting as well as a little
disturbing. Most responses have called for courtesy and consideration
in
comments about our academic colleagues, and I agree completely.
Perhaps,
it would be helpful if members of the International Division steering
committee restated HOW members are selected as leaders for the Doctoral
Consortium and how that process might be opened up to other members.
Despite efforts to include Academy members in various organizational
roles, there is no question that the Academy in general is perceived by
many as a "Good Old 'Persons'" network. (I've been a member for over 35
years and have held positions as a regional board member and
officer...and
frankly, I believe that the leadership network is just that...a
network.)
Having said that, we do continue to be inclusive, and this might be an
excellent time to expand further the inclusion of non-USAers (a strange
term that seems to be adopted by some of you) in the Doctoral Consortium
process.
Honestly, the upcoming Consortium sounds very outstanding to me. ONE
SIMPLE SUGGESTION, why not take a part of this upcoming event and
address
the very subject of "global involvement" in the Division and the
Academy...not so much "How DO we?" Rather, "How CAN we?" Should this
suggestion get legs, let me suggest that the leaders of the discussion
BEGIN with the fundamental precepts of a TRANSNATIONAL as defined by
Bartlett and Ghoshal. In my opinion, this would be an ideal
springboard.
Oh yes, and let's do maintain respect for all those who already have,
and
will in the future, contribute their time and energy to all efforts of
the
Division, in particular, and the Academy, in general.
