Committee Chair Candidates Sought
ACM SIGGRAPH is seeking candidates for the position of chair of each of the following committees: Chapters, Communications, and Digital Arts. Those interested in applying for any of these positions may submit a CV and vision statement to Scott Owen. Visit the ACM SIGGRAPH website for more information on the committees and application process.
Call for Student Volunteers
SIGGRAPH Asia 2016 seeks student volunteers to head to Macao, China this December. Student volunteers can expect to take part in a wide variety of conference programs, connect with computer graphics professionals, access exclusive student volunteer sessions and experience all that SIGGRAPH Asia has to offer with a full conference registration. Vist the SIGGRAPH Asia 2016 website for more information.
Election Timeline Change
Beginning this year, newly elected directors of ACM SIGGRAPH will take office in September instead of July.
The rationale behind the change is to increase member participation in the election process. A large percentage of our members attend SIGGRAPH, and by moving back the election timeline, the election can be publicized at the conference. SIGGRAPH 2016 will include a BOF session (Thursday from 12-1) providing members the opportunity to meet the EC candidates in person.
