<p style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt">Dear Jeremy, </p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt"> </p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt">This email is a friendly reminder that we are less than one month away from the submission deadline for the 2018 Southern Management Association Annual Meeting. The SMA meeting will take place November 6 - 10, 2018, in Lexington, Kentucky (<a href="http://www.southernmanagement.org/link.asp?e=jbauer3@mail.usf.edu&job=3306123&ymlink=226801077&finalurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Evisitlex%2Ecom%2F" target="_blank">https://www.visitlex.com</a>) at the Hilton Lexington/Downtown—a location that promises plenty of opportunities for knowledge exchange, development, networking, and the many fun activities for which SMA is known. </p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt"><strong> </strong></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt"><b>We need you to submit your manuscripts, symposia, and PDI. We also need you to volunteer to review.</b> The quality of our program is dependent on your active engagement! The deadline for submissions is April 23, 2018. We’ve made several minor changes to the submission process and have added additional details about the Innovative Teaching and PDI tracks. </p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt">If you submitted or reviewed last year, you already have a profile created in the system, and last year’s username and ID can be used to login this year. <b>If any of your information has changed, please update it at this time—even if you are not submitting.</b> If you did not create a profile last year, we have PDF documents to guide you through the account creation (<a href="http://www.southernmanagement.org/link.asp?e=jbauer3@mail.usf.edu&job=3306123&ymlink=226801077&finalurl=http%3A%2F%2Fbit%2Ely%2F2mfo2d6" target="_blank">http://bit.ly/2mfo2d6</a>), reviewer signup (<a href="http://www.southernmanagement.org/link.asp?e=jbauer3@mail.usf.edu&job=3306123&ymlink=226801077&finalurl=http%3A%2F%2Fbit%2Ely%2F2mygYcD" target="_blank">http://bit.ly/2mygYcD</a>)<span style="color:black">,</span> and paper/proposal submission processes (<a href="http://www.southernmanagement.org/link.asp?e=jbauer3@mail.usf.edu&job=3306123&ymlink=226801077&finalurl=http%3A%2F%2Fbit%2Ely%2F2ljD0Qa" target="_blank">http://bit.ly/2ljD0Qa</a>). Please note that the screenshots in the guides show a 2017 date and some other minor differences, but the process illustrated works for this year as well.</p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt"> </p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt">As we hope to limit each reviewer to no more than three papers total, we’ll need a large reviewer pool. <b>Please note that if you are a submitting author, you will also be expected to serve as a reviewer.</b> Doing so is one small way to repay the generosity of the volunteers who will review your work. Plus, SMA recognizes our best reviewers with a number of awards!</p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt">We look forward to seeing you in SMA’s 2018 “Winner’s Circle” in Lexington, Kentucky! <br>
