Welcome to the September 2016 edition of ACM Chapter Member News

Chapters are the "local neighborhoods" of ACM. Our Professional and Student chapters worldwide serve as nodes of activity for ACM members and the computing community at large, offering seminars, lectures, and the opportunity to meet peers and experts in many fields of interest. With over 1000 active chapters worldwide, we would like to take the time now to connect with all of you, and bring you a few ACM Highlights.

HEADLINES AT A GLANCE:


ACM Chapter News

Congratulations to the CECL for holding their third successful workshop for chapters. This workshop was held in Prague this past August to gather feedback from chapters, share best practices, forge links between chapters, and kickstart new initiatives. Both Bobby Schnabel, ACM CEO and Executive Director, and Alex Wolf, ACM Past President presented for the group along with an array of ACM leaders from throughout Europe and many chapter representatives who presented on their chapter initiatives, successes, and difficulties. There was also much lively group work and discussions.

We hope everyone had a wonderful time and rewarding experience.

ACM Chapter Spotlight

The Cascade ACM SIGGRAPH Chapter along with ASIFA Portland held a unique event called Sketch & Stretch in Portland, OR in August. The afternoon was full of fitness and art with opportunities for everyone to exercise, draw, or both. Keph Sherin, a gifted acrobat and fitness instructor, led two exercise sessions and yogis doubled as figure drawing models and sketchers as everyone stretched their creative and literal muscles together.

Congratulations Cascade ACM SIGGRAPH Chapter. Keep up the great work!
