The SIGSEM board

The current board is composed of:

  • Johan Bos (President);
  • Katrin Erk (Secretary);
  • Marco Baroni (Information Officer);
  • Gemma Boleda (Information Officer);
  • Alexander Koller (Information Officer);
  • Matthew Purver (Information Officer).

Some of contact addresses have changed -- please look here for the latest updates.

Past and Future Elections

The last elections were held in October 2013, as planned. Three new information officiers joined the board. The next elections are planned for 2016.

Members

The current SIGSEM membership counts 877 members. We have started cleaning up the database with members, by removing registered members whose email addresses aren't valid anymore after a couple of email bounces, of people who we can't reach otherwise. There is an active, moderated mailinglist. Our website, SIGSEM, is wiki-based and is regularly updated by SIGSEM's information officers.
