Upcoming Elections

Article by Demetra Gilmore Arnett

All members are welcome to run for office in our upcoming elections. Specifically, the treasurer and vice chair position will be open for the 2011-2012 Season, which begins July 1, 2011. Contact the chair for more information and to express interest in leadership.

Here’s a list of the positions on our board, with areas of responsibility:

Officer positions are filled by election in June, by members of Cascade ACM SIGGRAPH, ACM SIGGRAPH and ACM, and they have responsibility to attend monthly board meetings and events. They may also initiate and run committees to accomplish tasks:
