Spent the day volunteering for Loudoun County’s Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) efforts to distribute COVID-19 vaccines, and I would encourage anyone to consider volunteering for their local MRC. It’s a great experience, helps the effort of combating the pandemic in your community, and if you volunteer for a vaccine distribution site, it has the added benefit of volunteers getting the vaccine as well!

JOM Editorial Term Ending

Today, my term as Associate Editor at Journal of Management has ended. I am incredibly grateful to Editor David Allen & Senior Associate Editor Taco Reus for offering me this amazing opportunity, and I learned a lot from handling more than 100 unique manuscripts (many for multiple revisions) and close to 100 review issue proposals during my three years at JOM. And I won’t be leaving JOM as I have been invited to join the incoming JOM editorial board and will also remain the AE for any manuscripts assigned to me during my term which are still in the review process.
