ACM Chapter Member News | December, 2015
Welcome to the December 2015 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 850 active chapters worldwide, we would like to take the time now to connect with all of you, and bring you a few of the ACM Highlights.
HEADLINES AT A GLANCE:
Chapters were required to submit 2015 Annual Reports by August 31, 2015. Thank you to all those chapters who did so. Any active chapter who neglected to fill out their report was put on probation as of November 13, 2015. A list of these chapters can be found at: http://www.acm.org/chapters/acm-chapter-probation-notice.
Chapters put on probation can be taken off by completing their report online. In order to do so you must log in with a unique chapter web account. Please note, your chapter web account is entirely separate from your personal web account: http://www.acm.org/chapters/chapter-administrative-interface.
