MAP Leadership Changes

8/25/2018

1 Comment

 
We are thrilled to announce that Carolina Flores (Rutgers), Keyvan Shafiei (Georgetown), and Jingyi Wu (UC Irvine) will be coming on board this Fall to serve as new MAP Organizers. They will join Elise Woodard (U. Michigan), who will continue to serve as Director. The primary role of the Organizers is to maintain and strengthen the MAP network and to communicate with and support individual MAP chapters. We are confident that MAP will be in excellent hands.

This means that Simona Capisani and Olufemi O. Taiwo will be stepping down from their current roles. MAP has always been a network both for and by graduate students, and we’d like to congratulate Simona and Olufemi for having successfully defended their dissertations! They will continue to support the new organizers through their transition and will continue to be a part of the MAP network as they continue on in the profession. We are also grateful to the continued support of the founders, Liam Kofi Bright, Maegan Fairchild, and Yena Lee, for helping us navigate the first changeover in MAP leadership, and we look forward to a smooth transition during this second changeover.
​

Since the first Organizer Leadership change in 2016, MAP has doubled in size and now spans 8 different countries. MAP’s institutional focus is also shifting, both in response to the new chapters themselves and the new possibilities of the organization's new size and scope.  The new MAP leadership will be tasked with taking up the previous leadership’s responses to these changes and are eager for feedback from chapters on new directions for the organization.

​
Finally, Elise, Olufemi, and Simona want to thank chapters for their hard work, enthusiasm, and contributions over the past two years. It has been a pleasure working with you, and we are grateful for opportunity to play a supportive role in the MAP network. We are excited to see the organization continue to grow and expand, and we are confident in the new leadership’s ability.

Change is one of the unavoidable aspects of entrepreneurship. Many entrepreneurs find it difficult to deal with change. Also, there are the entrepreneurs who are very good at embracing the change. Well, front-runners have to deal with change personally and also help their admirers to stay positive. Flexibility is the key to dealing with unexpected changes. Apart from being accountable, a leader has to take the necessary measures to prevent the condition of getting set in the ways in order to cope with the changes successfully.
