Selection committee members Robin Pinkley (IACM President), Ray Friedman (Past President) and Bill Donohue (President-elect) invite nominations for the 12th Lifetime Achievement Award to be given at the IACM annual conference in Budapest, Hungary, July 1 – 4, 2007.
The LTAA is awarded every other year (alternating with the Jeffery Z. Rubin Theory-to-Practice Award) to an individual whose life's work has spanned decades and made outstanding contributions to the science and practice of conflict management. Nominees should be boundary scanners, whose rich history of theoretical and empirical work has made a significant and enduring impact across disciplines and the artificially imposed boundaries of theory and practice.
The award recipient will receive a commemorative plaque, a waiver of all conference registration fees, and coverage of his/her flight and hotel room fees. The recipient will be asked to give a short talk concerning the most enduring contributions of his or her life’s work and to write a paper based on the talk for publication, subject to editorial review in the IACM sponsored journal, Negotiation and Conflict Management Research.
Candidates for the award may be self-nominated or nominated by a peer. Nominations should include a brief statement regarding how the candidate meets the award criteria and a full professional vita.
The deadline for nominations is December 1, 2006. Nominations (including the materials noted above) should be emailed to rpinkley@cox.smu.edu or mailed to:
Professor Robin L. Pinkley,
Edwin L. Cox School of Business,
Southern Methodist University,
Fax #: (214)768-4099.
