Please explain more about the preclusion of paying members for service?

The Academy has a long-standing tradition of not paying members for service. This tradition was upheld and reinforced in a policy statement codified by the Board of Governors in 2013.

“The Academy of Management is a nonprofit association whose existence and operations depend on volunteerism from its members and contributions from their institutions. As such, we do not provide honoraria or pay any members for service to the association. In addition, we do not initiate or participate in projects that pay members through other non-AOM financial sources.” All efforts by members and others agreeing to participate in projects supported by the Strategic Project Fund are voluntary.
