Submissions are open to all individuals who fulfill the requirements as outlined in the Call for Papers. The Call for Papers is posted on the AOM website in October for the following summer meeting. If you are not currently a member, the answer is yes. If you are currently a member, the annual meeting registration fee for members does not include the cost of your dues renewal. You can link to information about the annual meeting directly from this site.
All new members receive a hard copy of the program in the mail as well.
And, this year, a special reminder will be sent to new members. There are a few ways to do this. The first is to review the list of volunteer opportunities posted on this site. Volunteer opportunities are also routinely listed in the Academy of Management News and in the division newsletters. Probably the best way to become active in the Academy is at the division level by contacting the division chair or program chair to express interest.
