Awards
Congratulations are definitely in order for SIOP Fellow Edwin A.
Fleishman, Distinguished University Professor Emeritus at George Mason University, who
recently received notification from APA that he had been selected as the recipient of the
American Psychological Association’s 1998/1999 Award for Distinguished Contributions
to the International Advancement of Psychology. The award was given for his
"sustained and enduring contributions to international cooperation and advancement of
knowledge in psychology." You can send your salutations to MRIEAF@aol.com.
People on the Move
Mickey Kavanagh, SIOP Fellow and past editor of TIP, sent me
an update recently to let everyone know that while he has indeed retired after 8 years as
editor of Group & Organization Management (Chris Earley has taken over the
editorship duties), he is keeping busy in his new role of Director of the Ph.D. Program in
Organizational Studies at the University at Albany. His son, Tim, is starting Wake Forest
this Fall. You can e-mail Mickey at mjk04@csc.albany.edu.
Maureen Conard informed me that she took a position in the
Psychology Department at Sacred Heart University in Fairfield, CT last year. She also had
this to say about my first issue of TIP: "Thanks for reminding us what IOTAS
stands for. I know Steve Ashworth and I remember when he named the column and I
can’t tell you how many times I’ve tried to recall what that ‘S’ stood
for!" She can be reached at ConardM@sacredheart.edu.
Scott Martin e-mailed (75777.77@compuserve.com)
to say that he is leaving NCS (formerly London House, which was a division of McGraw-Hill)
in Chicago and is taking a position at DDI in Pittsburgh.
After nearly 15 years with IBM, Pat Pedigo has made the jump to
PricewaterhouseCoopers as a Principal Consultant in their Strategic Change Group in NYC.
Her focus there will be on organization strategy, organization behavior and technology
assimilation consulting. Pat’s new number is (212) 591–4978 (patricia.r.pedigo@us.pwcglobal.com).
Books and Things
James W. Thacker (jwt@email.uwindsor.ca)
asked me to announce the publication of his new book. The official title is Effective
Training: Systems Strategies and Practices by P. Nick Blanchard and James W. Thacker,
published by Prentice Hall, Upper Saddle River NJ.
On a final note, my new (and first) book co-authored with Janine
Waclawski, was recently published by Gower Publishing in London, and is entitled Designing
and Using Organizational Surveys. And just in case anyone was unsure, it is indeed
oriented toward practitioners.
