Hybrid-Conference working group

Recently created the ACL hybrid-conference working group, whose aim is to come up with ideas and todo's on how to make our future conferences have a more engaged remote/virtual component (which has many reasons, esp. with pandemics and for people who cannot join due to visa/cost issues, and for environmental effects in general). The working group consists of diverse representation from ACL-exec regions as well as *ACL program chair. Will create a final document to share with the community for feedback and also with future *ACL chairs.

ACL Cloud GPU program for underserved communities

In addition to discussions with NSF, also in touch two major companies with cloud compute programs and are discussing with them an award-based cloud GPU program for underserved communities.

ACL Year-Round Mentorship Program

Monthly worldwide and year-round mentorship sessions running smoothly for third year, with sustained help from mentors and organizers. Plans to request/add more co-organizers soon for helping with several tasks of moderating sessions, processing zoom recordings and adding to youtube, announcing sessions, inviting mentors, etc. More details of the program at: https://mentorship.aclweb.org/
