It’s time to recognize outstanding scholars and research in the consumer behavior domain!
CBSIG is proud to give out THREE awards each year:
- Research in Practice Award for recent, rigorous research with managerial implications
- Lifetime Achievement Award for someone who has made significant contributions to the field of marketing
- Rising Star Award for a doctoral student or candidate who has shown promise through presentations and publications
Nominations for all three awards should be emailed to Francesca Valsesia (Vice Chair of Recognition and Awards) at valsesia@uw.edu. The nominations must be received by 5pm EST on October 13, 2023.
Please feel free to contact Francesca via e-mail with any questions.
A committee comprised of members of the CBSIG Leadership Team (Aaron Barnes, Ryan Hamilton, Kelly Haws, Mathew Isaac, Rebecca Reczek, Meyrav Shoham, and Francesca Valsesia) will determine the winners of each award. The winners will be announced by early December and will be formally awarded at the 2024 AMA Winter Conference.
