Election results
The ACM SIGGRAPH 2006 election results are in. Jeff Jortner was elected Treasurer, Rick Barry was elected Director for Education and Jim Kilmer was elected Director at Large. New offices begin on July 1, 2006. We appreciate the commitment to ACM SIGGRAPH that all the candidates made in accepting the nominations. We are sure that such outstanding volunteers will have many other opportunities to serve within ACM SIGGRAPH, and we look forward to continuing to work with all the candidates.
ACM SIGGRAPH 2006 Election Results
Each year the Nominating Committee, led by the Past President of
ACM,
looks for nominees for the following year's Executive Committee
positions. The committee will be nominating for three positions this
year: Director for Communications, Director for Chapters, and Director
at Large. More
information about the duties of each position can be found in
our bylaws. The Nominating Committee for 2006-2007 will be
chaired by the
Past President, Alain Chesnais. Anyone interested in a leadership
position in ACM SIGGRAPH is
encouraged to contact
him to express your interest or to suggest good candidates.
We appreciate the interest of everyone who voted in this election
and remind all members
of ACM SIGGRAPH
that your votes set the direction of the organization. I would also
like to thank the Nominating Committee, Eugene Fiume, Scott Lang and Bonnie Mitchell, for their time and effort spent interviewing candidates for
these positions.
