• Why join ACM?

• For many of our chapters, the summer months are a much needed rest from an active ACM year. However just because the sun was shining outside, doesn't mean we slowed down! We are proud to announce that over the summer, ACM gained over 30 new ACM Chapters worldwide!
• ACM and SIGGRAPH members across the globe came together in Los Angeles, CA this summer for the 39th Annual SIGGRAPH Conference. With over 21,000 attendees, representing 83 countries, it was certainly a great success! The planning for SIGGRAPH 2013 is well underway- hope to see you next year in Anaheim!
• ACM and the Tech world honored and remembered the 'Father of Computer Science' Alan Turing this summer, on the 100th anniversary of his birth. The importance of his role in shaping the modern computer science world can not be overstated or appreciated enough.

Did you know?

Chapter Annual Reports are past due. If you have not yet submitted your report, you must do so as soon as possible! Failure to submit the report in a timely fashion can result in the decharter of your chapter.

The report is for the fiscal year July 1, 2011-June 30, 2012. To access your chapter's administrative interface, enter your username and password here: https://services.acm.org/chapter_admin

If you have forgotten your username or password, please follow the link below: https://accounts.acm.org/signin.cfm?r=1

In addition, you may notice the Annual Report looks a bit different from years past. ACM has been working hard to serve our chapters in the best way possible and this new release provides a user friendly interface which allows full editing of your information until submission. SIGGRAPH Chapters will find additional questions at the end of their report that must be completed as well.

Any questions, please contact [email protected].

What we are excited about!

ACM is excited to offer a Chapter related webinar. This is our opportunity to provide you with the chance to learn about ACM, and all that is available to you and your chapter. With the transitioning of officers, often information gets lost or forgotten. We invite all officers, old and new, to participate in this online guided tutorial as we walk through the ACM website, the chapter database/interface and more! This tutorial will be given in real time, and you will have the opportunity to interact and ask questions. Please contact [email protected] for dates and availability, or any further questions. The session will run for no longer then one hour. See you there!

Chapter Spotlight

ACM would like to recognize 3 of its oldest and most influential chapters. The following chapters were the first of their kind, starting in the 1950's and outlasting many of their peers. Today, these chapters are still alive and running.

• Los Angeles ACM Chapter
• Syracuse ACM Chapter
• Washington DC ACM Chapter

Over 50 years old, and still going strong! It is laregly due to the eager members and officers who volunteer countless hours of their time and resources. Thank you to these members, and to the ever growing, ever changing computer science community as whole. Here is to another 50 years!
