1. Message from the HCM Division Chair

Dear HCM Division Members,

We had a fantastic conference (and weather!) at this year’s Annual Meeting in Chicago. The conference was a resounding success, bringing together our diverse and passionate community of health care management scholars. We had another successful year of paper sessions and professional development workshops, as well as plenty of new faces at our Emerging Scholar Consortium.

A huge shoutout to the Membership Engagement Committee, chaired by Geoffrey Silvera, for planning yet another unique lineup of social events. HCM’s table tennis talent continues to demonstrate a distinctly bimodal distribution. Sharing stories, exchanging ideas, and forming collaborations during these events reaffirms the vital importance of our division in bringing together an international community of health care management scholars and practitioners.

A heartfelt thank you to this year’s generous sponsors whose support made these meaningful experiences possible.

One of the conference's highlights was celebrating the excellence of our members during the business meeting. Please join me in congratulating our outstanding award winners:

·      Keith G. Provan Distinguished Scholar Award: Martin P. Charns (Boston University)

·      Mid-Career Achievement Award: Jennifer Hefner (Ohio State University)

A special thank you to our outgoing HCM Division Chair, Cheryl Rathert, for her exceptional leadership and unwavering commitment to our division. Her leadership has significantly advanced our division’s mission and strengthened our community. We are profoundly grateful for her contributions over the past four years in the chairperson leadership cycle.

Above all, none of this would have been achievable without our exceptional volunteers. Throughout the year, members from our multiple committees and our executive committee gave their time and energy to ensure a rich program, support our speakers, and make everyone feel welcome. Thank you for making this experience so memorable.

But the journey doesn't end here! We're already gearing up for next year's conference in Copenhagen, Denmark, which will be chock-full of wienerbrød and flæskesteg, or so I’ve been told. If you're planning to submit a Professional Development Workshop (PDW), please reach out to Ingrid Nembhard to discuss your ideas.

Finally, a special thanks to Tory Hogan and the Communications Committee for keeping us all up to date with all the goings-on during this year’s Annual Meeting! Over the next 12 months, the Communications Committee will help keep you informed of the happenings within the HCM division. Please expect an above-average number of updates regarding next year’s Annual Meeting, particularly dates! Please note that next year’s Annual Meeting will take place earlier than normal: July 25-29, 2025. It is possible that paper and PDW submission dates might also be different from years prior. We will update you all as soon as we hear from AOM. You can stay connected through the HCM-AOM Connect feed, our quarterly newsletters, and the Annual Meeting daily emails. Be sure to be subscribed to the HCM-AOM Connect emails!

 

Wishing everyone a productive and successful academic year ahead.

 

Nick Edwardson

Chair, HCM Division
