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.
