Welcome to ICA Organizational Communication Division IV Online


It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the Organizational Communication Division’s new website. We hope you will find it both useful and interesting. From our history to our recently updated by-laws, this site provides important information about membership, conferences, awards, committee structure, by-laws and the latest news of Division members. Many thanks to the Web Redesign Committee: Webmaster Scott C. D'Urso, Marquette University; Janet Fulk, University of Southern California; and Edward Palazzolo, Arizona State University. They have done a superb job creating an easy to use and informative site…and this is just the beginning. Any comments or suggestions you might have for what you would like to see on the website will be greatly appreciated.

The Organizational Communication Division is one of the most vibrant divisions of ICA. We have over 700 members from universities across the globe, and we are continuing to grow. Our division members are very active in the academic mission and governance structures of ICA. In the last 12 years, 6 ICA Presidents have been affiliated with our division. Five of our division members are ICA Fellows. Since 2005 alone, Organizational Communication Division members have received ICA Best Article Awards, the ICA Outstanding Book Award, the Steve Chaffee Productivity Award, and the Aubrey Fisher Mentorship Award. Besides having some of the most talented. productive, and engaged graduate students, professors, and practitioners as our members, our division is committed to collegiality and creating a supportive and exciting intellectual environment. I hope you join us at our Business Meeting at the annual convention. You will get to see Organizational Communication in its full glory!!

This year’s conference is in Montreal, Canada, a charming city filled with great places to explore, dine, and meet friends and colleagues. Our Vice Chair, Dennis Mumby, has planned an outstanding set of panels. I hope to see you there. Our welcome reception is on Friday, May 23, 6pm to 7:15 pm, in the Hemon Room of Le Centre Sheraton immediately after our Division’s Top Three Panel and business meeting. You are warmly invited to all three exciting events!


Cheers.

Cynthia Stohl
Division Chair
