SAMS Trustees
The Society for the Advancement of Management Studies SAMS is governed by a Council of Trustees based around the world.
SAMS Trustees play a vital role in advancing the Charity’s mission to support researchers and advance management and organisation studies through the promotion of innovative, high-quality research.
Trustees contribute through participation in Council Meetings and may also serve on sub-committees that oversee key activities such as funding allocations, awards, and editorial appointments.
In addition to their governance responsibilities, Trustees actively support the Journal of Management Studies (JMS) and work with its editorial team to uphold the journal’s academic excellence.
