Body

The United Nations Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME) North America and George Mason University’s Business for a Better World Center in the School of Business are excited to host the PRME North America Biennial Meeting April 21-23 in Arlington, Virginia, USA, just outside Washington, D.C. Our theme for the meeting is Building a Better Future Together.  

The meeting will include sessions focused on how we can work together effectively as an organization and how we can boost engagement across different elements of our communities throughout the U.S. and Canada. We will enjoy opportunities to discuss both research activities and teaching and learning innovations.  We will further share examples of partnerships to effect change and approaches to communicating the impact we are having to different audiences. 

Planned sessions include a workshop for junior scholars, unveiling of curricular materials for integrating sustainability across disciplines, teaching, research, and changemaking sessions, poster presentation sessions, and working sessions on priorities and initiatives for the future of PRME NA.
