2012 AEPP Welcome Letter

John Keenan

Dear Colleagues -

Please consider joining us at the 20th Annual International Conference of the Association on Employment Practices and Principles (AEPP) in Vancouver, British Columbia Oct. 3-5, 2012. This year's conference theme is Leading 21st Century Change: Beyond Bureaucracy and Workplace Disengagement. The AEPP and its parent, the Council on Employee Responsibilities and Rights (CERR) focus on organizational concepts and practices for the effective managing of organizations, people and performance within the context of the higher levels of ethical principles and practices.

We also sponsor the International Journal for Responsible Employment Practices and Principles (IJREPP), our official journal, that continues in the tradition of our 23 year history of accomplishments and success in developing and editing the premiere journal in this field. Special emphasis this year will include encouraging "practitioner" engagement in varied track areas in addition to our traditional scholar emphasis.

AEPP international conferences focus on providing a national and international forum for professional development, networking and social interaction among academics, consultants, executives and practicing managers. Our conferences are deliberately limited in number of participants to foster a supportive and friendly environment.

We are very fortunate this year to be sponsored by Simon Fraser University's Beedie School of Business. Also, Southern Oregon University will be lending their support, as well as the Institute for Leadership and Global Education (ILGE).

We welcome papers (both regular and developmental), presentations, case studies, and proposals that are original and promise scholarly or practical contribution to the field. Accepted papers will usually be published in a CD and website version of the Proceedings. Awards will be made for the most outstanding paper from a scholar, a practitioner. a graduate student, as well as a best case studies paper award. Proposals for workshops, round tables, papers, panels, and symposia are also encouraged.

Selected papers will be invited to be submitted for review for possible publication in the International Journal for Responsible Employment Practices and Principles (IJREPP).
