Past and Future Elections
Elections were held in the spring of 2017. The new boards members will start to serve after the summer break.
Members
The current SIGSEM membership counts around 800 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, [http://www.sigsem.org SIGSEM], is wiki-based and is regularly updated by SIGSEM's information officers.

The next IWCS will take place in September 2017 in Montpellie, France. The *SEM events are jointly organized by SIGSEM and SIGLEX. *SEM-2017 will take place in Vancouver, Canada, collocated with ACL.
