Drs. Ron Galloway and Bill Russell attended the Region 7 Annual Conference of the Association of Collegiate Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP) held at Point Loma Nazarene University on January 21 and 22. Region 7 is an international Region which is comprised of all ACBSP two-year and four-year schools in Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, Utah, Nevada, Colorado, Arizona, California, Oregon, Washington, Alaska, Hawaii, British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, the Northwest and Yukon Territories, and Western Mexico (including the Baja peninsula).

In complimentary recognition of scholarly efforts at NNU, two of the five papers selected in a blind peer-review process for presentation at the Conference were written by NNU professors. The first paper was a survey of business community and adult learner attitudes toward business faculty qualification, written and presented by Dr. Russell. The second paper entitled Professional Criteria for Tenure and Promotion Decisions in the Business Discipline, written by Drs. Russell, Galloway, and Jeff Lineman, was selected by conference attendees to be the “Best of Region” winner. Dr. Russell noted, “Discussion during Q&A in the presentation was vigorous and very supportive, and we have been asked to provide both copies and other assistance to a number of business programs at other schools.”
Dr. Jeff Lineman
As Regional winners, the authors will present their paper at the International Conference of the ACBSP which will be held in Los Angeles in June 2010. Certainly, the honors of being selected to present papers and chosen “Best of Region” by their peers, speak well for the scholarly credentials and skills of these NNU professors.
