The Meaning Microcommunity was born in December 2003 at a POS Conference in a working session on meaning, when several scholars interested in meaning in work and organizations came together and decided to meet up again to talk about their research. In May 2004 the first May Meaning Meeting was held at the University of Michigan, and a meeting has been held each year since then.
Faculty and doctoral students from across the country gather to share their research and gain a better understanding of how employees experience meaning in and at work. The group has yielded new collaborations and exchanges of ideas among an ever-growing set of active researchers.
