MIAMI, Fla. -- The Academy of Management recently announced that Mary Ann Von Glinow, professor of management and international business and director of the Center for International Business Education and Research at FIU's College of Business Administration (CBA), will be the 2005 recipient of the Academy's "Distinguished Service Award."

One of the highest honors the Academy bestows upon its members, the award recognizes excellence in developing and enhancing a field of study, founding or creatively editing a journal, and building institutions - for example, through unique or unusually effective service to a major professional organization.

According to Von Glinow's peers, the international perspective she brings to the management field, particularly in the areas of organizational behavior and human resource management, was a strong factor in their decision to nominate her for the award. Additionally, Von Glinow has contributed greatly to the Academy through various leadership roles, including serving as President, member of the Board of Governors, and in numerous chair positions.

"Being chosen for this award amongst so many deserving colleagues is an extreme honor," Von Glinow said. "The Academy of Management is such a noteworthy organization and to be recognized in this way is certainly a privilege."

The award will be presented to Von Glinow at the organization's annual meeting in August in Honolulu, Hawaii.

"It's clear that Mary Ann was worthy of an honor of this caliber, but it's wonderful to see the recognition come from such a well-respected institution such as the Academy of Management," said Joyce Elam, executive dean of FIU's College of Business Administration.
