  • 1.  IABS: Call for Proposals

    Posted 06-24-2015 18:02

    Dear colleagues

     

    Recently the IABS Board voted to establish a strategic initiatives fund – which will run on an annual basis until 2020.

     

    The idea is to engage the membership in projects to address some targets around membership, conference quality and supporting the 'Business & Society' journal. We'd like to hear from you – and support you – to generate some creative projects that will help to achieve some of our targets.

     

    Details of the 'Strategic Initiatives Fund' – and how to apply can be found here. We're very excited about the types of projects that could get up – and we encourage you to think broadly and creatively about what might help to build on the success of IABS so far – and help to ensure its continued prosperity in to the future.

     

    The good news is that the application is relatively short (it's nothing at all like a grant application) – but the bad news is the timelines are quite short (we'd like your proposal by 31 July).

     

    Anyway, check out the details and send your completed proposal to kimrodela@iabs.net

     

    Regards

    Colin
