Each year the Nominating Committee, led by the Past President of ACM SIGGRAPH, looks for nominees to consider for the following year's Executive Committee positions. The Nominating Committee for 2005-2006 is chaired by the Past President, Alain Chesnais, and is composed of Eugene Fiume, Scott Lang and Bonnie Mitchell.

This year we are changing the process by explicitly soliciting input from our membership to enhance participation in the nominations process. We encourage you to take part in this process so that you continue to have a voice in choosing those that lead the ACM SIGGRAPH organization. Please feel free to forward this e-mail to other ACM SIGGRAPH members.

Please respond to ec-nominations -at- siggraph.org by July 30, if possible, as this would allow us to interview potential candidates at our annual conference.
