Abstract: The Accounting, Behavior and Organizations (ABO) Section of the American Accounting Association has grown quickly since its founding in 1981. There were only 224 members in 1982. Today, there are over 1,300 members. The reason for this growth is primarily due to the research interests (as opposed to teaching interests) of the group's members. The section provides a service by communicating what others in the field are doing. Although the section has sponsored programs, an annual research conference, sessions at regional meetings, and a couple of book-length publications over the years, the primary output has been the semiannual newsletter and, recently, the annual journal. The journal is among the most respected of any journals in the accounting field. This paper lists all of the past officers of the section and the sites and program chairs for all of the mid-year meetings. Important accomplishments of the group are highlighted.
