RETREAT following AOM-2017-- Registration now open:
Dear colleagues and friends,
We invite you, your friends, spouses, and colleagues to participate in the 15th Annual MSR Retreat, which will take place Tuesday evening through Friday lunch, August 8-11, 2017 (following AOM in Atlanta, Georgia).
Past participants say the MSR Retreat is an invaluable and quite enjoyable opportunity to:
• Decompress from the intense experience of AOM with other scholars;
• Deepen connections with members of the Academy in a creative, relaxed and authentic environment;
• Reflect forward on goals for teaching and research in the coming academic year.
This year's MSR Retreat will be held at the Forrest Hills Mountain Resort & Conference Center in Chattahoochee National Forest with many hiking trails and horseback riding available. In 2017 we will draw on the principles and process of Appreciative Inquiry (Cooperrider & Whitney, 2008) and Open Space Technology (Owen, 2008) to construct much of our time together.
Because accommodations require reservations and payment, we are asking that you determine early if this spirit-filled, rest and practice opportunity is something you would like to share.
For more information and/or to register, please examine the MSR Retreat Brochure and Registration forms. Click or paste-in to your browser.

Because of limited space, people will be registered for the Retreat on a "first come, first served" basis using the link above for the brochure, registration form and payment. Full cost for 3 nights lodging, space for retreat activities, and dining with 3 meals daily, will run $375 US / person (double occupancy accommodation) and $525 US per person (single occupancy).
We hope you will consider this opportunity to be with a like-minded group in a surrounding of natural beauty to share a spirit filled three days in support of our important work on behalf of management education.
Sincerely,
2017 MSR Retreat Organizing Committee
