ABOUT THE SAM AWARDS
The SAM Society Awards Program was created to acknowledge superior contributions and accomplishments in the management discipline by students, faculty, and practitioners. The Outstanding Faculty Advisor Award is given to an outstanding individual who through their role as a chapter advisor has demonstrated effective leadership, mentoring, and personal professional development of collegiate members within the society.
The Society for Advancement of Management is the world’s oldest management society, formed in 1911 to provide a place for discussion and promotion of Frederick Winslow Taylor’s principle of scientific management. A non-profit organization run and advanced by hundreds of volunteers; members come from a variety of disciplines — productions, finance, marketing, accounting, research and development, entrepreneurship, — but share a common bond of interest in becoming stronger managers. SAM builds bridges among academicians, practitioners, and students not only to better share management expertise but also to develop and promote new management ideas.
