ACM SIGGRAPH 2004 Elections Nominating Committee
Report
This year ACM SIGGRAPH members will elect three members of the ACM
SIGGRAPH Executive Committee for three-year terms beginning July 1,
2004. The Nominating Committee sought colleagues whom we believe can
successfully lead ACM SIGGRAPH in the changing world of computer
graphics and interactive techniques. We are pleased to present you
with a group of professionals with experience as ACM SIGGRAPH
volunteers as well as solid achievements in industry, research, and
academia.
The Nominating Committee has selected two nominees for each
position. The statements from the candidates will appear in the
February issue of Computer Graphics and in ballot material. Other
names may be added to the ballot by the petition process described
below. Ballots, including copies of the candidate statements will be
mailed to ACM SIGGRAPH members in a first class mailing in the
spring of 2004, and we hope you will all read the statements
carefully and vote. Any questions about nominations, petitions, or
elections can be directed to Judy Brown,
jbrown@siggraph.org.

ACM SIGGRAPH 2004 Ballot Results
The ACM SIGGRAPH 2004 election results are in. Mk Haley was elected
Director for Communications; Francis X. McAfee, Director for
Chapters; and Rob Cook, Director at Large.
We appreciate the commitment to ACM SIGGRAPH that all the candidates
made in accepting the nominations and regret that the candidates who
were not elected will not serve on the Executive Committee at this
time. 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 in some way.
Each year the Nominating Committee, led by the Past President of ACM
SIGGRAPH, looks for nominees for the following year's Executive
Committee positions. The committee will be nominating for two
positions in 2005: President, and Vice President. More information
about the duties of each position can be found in our bylaws at
http://www.siggraph.org/gen-info/bylaws.html. The Nominating
Committee for 2004-2005 will be chaired by Judith R. Brown and can
be reached at NominatingCommittee@siggraph.org. Anyone interested in
a leadership position in ACM SIGGRAPH is encouraged to contact us 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.
For the 2003-2004 Nominating Committee,
Judy Brown, Chair
Alan Chalmers
