Dear EURAM Member,
On behalf of the Chairperson, Niels Noorderhaven, and the EURAM Board, I have the pleasure to invite you to the General Assembly of the European Academy of Management.
Exceptionally this year, we have scheduled two General Assembly meetings.

The dates and venues of the two General Assemblies are:

I. Extraordinary General Assembly on 6 June from 12:00 (noon) to 13:00 CEST online *

** Members can access the EURAM Statutes here (click on “Account” in the menu bar and select “Members only”).

The reason for the Extraordinary General Assembly is to approve the following changes in the EURAM Statutes:

  • Recent modifications introduced in the Belgian legislation concerning all not-for-profit associations.
  • Harmonisation of all terms of elected officers and vice presidents to three years renewable once.
  • Clarification on signatories of contracts and deeds.
  • Appointment of the journal’s editor(s) by the Executive Committee.
  • Approval process for representation budget of the Executive Committee.
  • Chairmanship of SIG Committee and Country Representatives Council.
  • Annual financial audit process.

The revised statutes necessitate the approval by the General Assembly. Should the quorum of attendance not reach two thirds of the membership, (See Article 7 of the current statutes) the approval of the revised statutes will be conducted at the second General Assembly to be held 16 June 2023 in Dublin.

To attend the online Extraordinary General Assembly of 6 June 2023, please register here by 23 May. You will receive a secure link a few days before the meeting.
