ACM Chapter Member News | December 2019
Welcome to the December 2019 edition of the 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 950 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:
2019 Annual Reports
Chapters were required to submit their 2019 Annual Reports by August 31, 2019. Thank you to all those chapters who did so. In November any active chapter who neglected to fill out their report was put on probation and any chapter already on probation was de-chartered.
Officers interested in reactivating their chapters should complete their 2019 Annual Report immediately. In order to do so you must log in with your unique chapter web account. Please note, your chapter web account is entirely separate from your personal web account: https://services.acm.org/public/chapters/chapterprofile/chapteradmin.cfm.

Hour of Code
The Hour of Code is a global movement designed to generate excitement in young people about programming and technology. Games, tutorials, and other events are organized during Computer Science Education Week around the world. ACM would like to congratulate all the ACM chapters that are taking part this year.

El Paso Community College ACM Student Chapter
On November 21st the El Paso Community College ACM Student Chapter in collaboration with the White Sands Missile Range organized a workshop on Cybersecurity titled: Man in the Middle Cybersecurity Capture the Flag Workshop. The purpose was to increase cybersecurity awareness in the classroom and in their community, and to accomplish the objectives of the Center of Academic of Excellence in Cybersecurity. The event was attended by 52 students. You can read more about it at: https://www.tejanotribune.com/single-post/2019/12/03/Students-learn-about-cybersecurity-1.
Guadalajara ACM SIGGRAPH Chapter
In October the Guadalajara ACM SIGGRAPH Chapter held an event called CG Talks Historias en 40 segundos (CG Talks Stories in 40 seconds). In this lecture, presenter Andrés Alejandro Martinez explained principal points to consider when assembling stories that connect with your target market in projects for video and animation. He dissected the 40 second format and how its structure, frame format, visual style and a good trained eye can form a good story. The event was held at the UNIVA University in Zapopan, Mexico and attended mostly by students.
Congratulations to both chapters and keep up the great work.
