Nominating Committee Report and Call for Petition Candidates
Nominating Committee Report
The ACM SIGGRAPH Nominating Committee was tasked this year to present a slate
of candidates for the following positions on the SIGGRAPH Executive Committee:
. Director for Communications
. Director for Education
. Director for Professional Chapters
. Director-at-Large (Two positions)
The ACM Bylaws require that (n+1) candidates be nominated for each named
position being contested. By tradition, SIGGRAPH nominates two candidates
for each open position. The petition procedure for member nominated
candidates is described below.
ACM SIGGRAPH, primarily through our annual conference, has an operational
budget of around $10 million per year. This year the Nominating Committee
has made an effort to put forward candidates with the breadth of vision and
of technical, application and managerial experience to help make wise decisions
and to provide current and future leadership for SIGGRAPH. We hope that you
will read the candidates' statements with as much care as they wrote them
and think about how each would influence the future of your professional
organization.
Ballots, including copies of the candidate statements, will be mailed to
SIGGRAPH members in a first class mailing in late April. Candidate
statements will be posted to this web site in early March.
All questions about SIGGRAPH nominations and elections should be addressed
to Wayne Carlson, carlson@siggraph.org; +1-614-292-3416.
