Dear STR Members,
You might have seen the call from AOM to nominate the future leaders of our field. STR Past Division Chair, Michael Leiblein, has also sent a reminder. I hope that you will take the time to vote for the future leaders of STR. You will find the link to the Division elections here: https://aom.org/about-aom/governance/board-of-governors/board-nominations-and-elections and you have until May 16 to vote.
In May, we again have a number of online events lined up for the STR community:

On the 9th of May at 9AM EST, Cameron Miller (Syracuse U) from the STR Membership Engagement Committee will host Russ Coff (U Wisconsin-Madison) for a session on “How to Master Conference Presentations.” This is a great opportunity to learn more about how to present at conferences, where you have less time than for a regular paper presentation and need to convey a lot in little time. https://str.aom.org/discussion/str-virtual-event-how-to-master-conference-presentations
On May 23rd and May 28th Philipp Meyer-Doyle (INSEAD) and Florence Honoré (U Wisconsin-Madison) are hosting the annual “STRonger Together Networkshops”. These workshops are a series of online workshops for late-stage PhD students, post-doc or equivalent, i.e., those who expect to be on the job market next academic year (2024-25). The workshops will last two hours and each student is matched with two senior discussants. The organizers have a great set of discussants lined up: Michael Bikard, Linus Dahlander, Giada Di Stefano, Kenneth Huang, Tobias Kretschmer, Bala Vissa, Heli Wang, Pavel Zhelyakov, Donald Bergh, Felipe Csaszar, J.P. Eggers, Aline Gatignon, Jiao Luo, and Atul Nerkar . Thank you to the organizers and the panelists for being part of creating this wonderful opportunity for junior STR scholars.
As per usual, if you missed the April events you can find them on our home page as podcasts (https://str.aom.org/home) or on the STR Youtube channel. Hope to see you at one of the May events.
Louise Mors, STR Division Chair
