Nominations Now Being Accepted for the Next Editor of Accounting Horizons

Nominations close Monday, November 21, 2016

The Publications Committee is soliciting nominations for the next Editor of Accounting Horizons.  This will be a three-year term beginning June 1, 2018.  Accounting Horizons is one of three association-wide journals published by the American Accounting Association (AAA). This journal seeks to bridge academic and professional audiences with articles that focus on accounting, broadly defined, and that provide insights pertinent to the accounting profession. The content of Accounting Horizons, therefore, should interest researchers, educators, practitioners, regulators, and students of accounting. 

The term of the current Editor of Accounting Horizons, Teri Lombardi Yohn, runs through May 2018. The Publications Committee will consider nominees throughout the fall/winter, with a goal to have the next Editor appointed and in transition by late 2017.

Please send your nominations via email to John Harry Evans III (Chair, Publications Committee) at the address below, by November 21, 2016. You are strongly encouraged to include with your nomination a current electronic copy of the candidate's vita. Please also feel free to explain why you believe that your nominee would be a good candidate for the position.
