Dear SIMians,
Most everyone in SIM knew Ann, and to know Ann was to know her kindness. You might also know that her concern was always with others, and not with herself. Thus, it may come as no surprise that she expressly didn't want a memorial service. Nonetheless, there's no doubt that so many will want to share their praise of Ann's character and contributions. One place to do this is on the SIM Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/simdivision. Do of course feel free to continue to share your thoughts with everyone on the list-serv, but if you post on the Facebook page, it's a record that will have a bit more permanency.
Some of us have been in touch with Ann's brother, to see if he might have any preferences for ways to honor Ann. I'm also working with Rutgers staff to determine how to name a fund of some sort in her honor. In addition, SIM leadership is trying to sort out how best to honor Ann's legacy – perhaps with a named award of some sort. If you have any thoughts on any of the above, do please get in touch.
Best,
Mike

As many of you know, Ann also worked tirelessly with the AOM Ethics Committee, always with her usual upbeat attitude. I thoroughly enjoyed working with her on that and other SIM issues over the years. This was quite a shock.
I miss her already!

Dear SIM Division members,
I am sorry to inform you that Ann Buchholtz, a much-beloved member and leader of the Social Issues in Management division, died yesterday in Livingston, NJ as a result of complications from recent surgery. Ann was Professor of Leadership and Ethics and Research Director of the Institute for Ethical Leadership at Rutgers University. She received her Ph.D. from New York University and also served on the faculties of the University of Connecticut and the University of Georgia. Ann's service to the division and the Academy of Management was extensive, including service as SIM PDW, Program, and Division Chair and a just-completed term on the AOM Board of Governors. Ann received the Sumner Marcus Award for her outstanding contributions of scholarship and service to the Social Issues in Management field at the 2015 Academy of Management annual meeting in August.
Detailing Ann's many contributions of scholarship, teaching, and service to both field and community only tells part of the story of her influence. Ann was a mentor to SIM doctoral students and new faculty members for decades. In gathering information about her in preparation for the Sumner Marcus Award this August, someone wrote this to me: "She is the 'Embodiment of the Ethic of Care'. She takes care of everyone-her colleagues, her students, her friends and her bosses. She's the kindest, most forgiving person I've ever seen." I think this quote captures who Ann was for those of us who knew her, and her absence will be felt by all of us.
Social Issues in Management Division Chair
