Statement
I have been a member of the
ACM since 1981, have been actively
engaged with ACM SIGARCH since
1990, and have served as Chair or
Vice-Chair since 2007. I have also
served on the SIG Governing Board
(SGB) Executive Committee as SIG
Development Advisor (2012–2013)
and on the ACM Council as SGB
Representative (2013–).
From my perspective, the ACM
provides the structure for the SIGs
to thrive, and the SIGs provide the
structure for our communities
to thrive through sponsorship of
conferences, student travel grants,
awards, and other programs. As
SIG Development Advisor I have
seen firsthand the challenges
of expanding the reach of our
community, while combating the
tendency to fragment into ever
more specialized niches. Striking
the proper balance will be key to
the long-term success of ACM and
the SIGs.
As Secretary/Treasurer, I will
seek ways to expand the value
that ACM and the SIGs provide
to our members, which is what
ultimately drives ACM and SIG
membership and participation. I
believe it is especially important to
increase the internationalization
of ACM and the SIGs, especially
into emerging areas of Asia such
as India and China (while not
neglecting European and domestic
members). I am interested in
continuing to explore the creation
of International SIG Chapters as
one important vehicle for this
expansion.
