The Society of Psychologists in Management invites you to its 13th annual Mid-winter Conference to be held February 27 to March 2, 1997 at Le Meridien Hotel in New Orleans. The theme of SPIM '97 is Creating and Managing the Organization of the Future. Carl F.

Other featured speakers include Laura Avakian, Vice President of Human Resources for Beth Israel Hospital; Michael R. Cooper, Chairman and CEO of Opinion Research Corporation; Donald O. Clifton, Chairman of the Gallup Organization; and Joyce Shields, President of Hay Management Consultants. Ann Howard's Presidential address will be on Managing at the Edge of Chaos.

A special innovation for this year's conference is the 1st SPIM Institute, a full day workshop. The 1997 Institute is on Psychologists in Transition, an opportunity to explore personal career changes led by Cynthia Scott and Lillian Gorman.

SPIM offers a unique opportunity for psychologist-managers to associate with their peers in a supportive, intellectually stimulating environment. CE hours are available for both the conference and the Institute. For more information contact John C.
